Is there a way to tell on your own if your scoliosis is getting worse or staying the same? can we prevent it from getting worse? pain=bad? eats great.

Odd statement: It is not clear if you are asking about yourself or someone else.The changes in scoliosis is influenced by age, which you don't give.Change is monitored by exam and x-rays if needed.There is no self directed method to replace these reproducible methods.Significant changes can go unnoticed by most untrained and some trained personnel.

Potentially: Potential signs that a scoliosis curve is worsening in an adult is loss in height, increase in shoulder or pelvis balance (some people will say there clothes aren't fitting like they used to), or an increase in the "rib hump" on forward bending. In general, curves less than 45 degrees don't progress in adults while those over 45 do. Safest thing would be to get an xray if any question about it.
