My younger sister has scoliosis, she recently had a surgery to correct it. She had a double curve, her upper curve being 57 degrees, and her lower one being around 70 degrees. She also had titanium rods a screws put in along with having 13 of her vertebrae fused.
I'm curious as to why your scoliosis is causing your rib cage to collapse on your lungs (if that is the case)? And also my sister did not find out about her scoliosis until she was around 8, because you were diagnosed at 3, was it very pronounced?
