is this bad

i recently had kyphosis diagnosed by multiple doctors, (more options, clearer diagnosis?) but some of then keep saying that surgery is mandatory, also at my age it is effective and crucial(14 and i know im a little too young) also the doctors pointed out how the radiologists are wrong on their observation on how it says 59 degrees but the doctor keeps saying its 70 degrees or might even be higher. i am trying my best to wear a brace but not getting more then 5-6 hours in, i have also recently started going to PT but it has been over a year since i was diagnosed and doctors keep telling me to get surgery or this could impact my lungs or there could be problems with my nervous system too after, i am kinda skeptical about all of that which is why i came here to ask on how accurate the doctors are, some also say wearing the brace for 22 hours is the only way to reverse it but that is almost near impossible for me, if wore for too long the brace does start to hurt and it keeps getting worse the longer i wear it causing me to take it off in like 5 hours. what should i do or what could i do, any tips or suggestions (mods im new here and im not asking for medical advice or a diagnosis, just any tips or suggestions)
