A member asked:
Hello. i'm 22 yo female with 42 degrees of dextroscoliosis. will my angle grow bigger with my age (considering that my growth has stopped)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: That angle alone is a bit worrisome for worsening. The full picture of your curve including levels and how well balanced your spine is is also important. You should have the spine checked in 3-5 years or if you sense changes.
