I was born with one lung and was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 12. At that point in time my spine was too far gone for any kind of brace, surgery was the only answer. We were afraid to do surgery because at 12 years old I had already medically been through so much. So I fought scoliosis for years and I was in pain all the time due to the curve. My hip went bad and then during my pregnancy the curve got worse and actually became a triple curve.
