i'm 24 years old and currently at 30 degrees for both lumbar and lower thoracic (S-curve). at 18 years old, i was only at about 24 degrees. i'm currently undergoing physical therapy to get on top of the slight aches i've been feeling since i work a desk job and also do art for pretty long hours. is there a chance that the curves would still get worse even if i'm already past 18? and should i be thinking of surgery at this stage or is my curve not /that/ bad for surgery yet? i'm really scared of surgery and would like some opinions on whether i should be considering it or if i can relax myself from worrying about it at this stage 🥲 thank you in advance!
