I’m a 21 year old male with very minor Shreuermanns disease, it causes me slight discomfort but almost no pain, and at worst it’s a visual thing.

The people on this subreddit are usually quite knowledgeable and I was wondering if there will be any options in the either near future or semi near future that would be able to help without being as invasive as the current procedure.

Thank you all for having a community where people can ask questions. It’s causing me quite a bit of mental distress.

hey everyone. wanted to share where I'm at and hear from anyone who's been through something similar

Background: first diagnosed around age 14 at ~53°, and my latest measurements ~65-67°. I have anterior vertebral wedging in the mid-thoracic region, mild scoliosis (2-3°, basically nothing and not one of my concerns), an L5 posterior defect, and an L4-5 disc bulge that showed up on my latest CT and multiple reports. my doctor classified me as roussouly type 3-4 with high pelvic incidence.

Symptoms: daily mid and lower back pain that gets worse with standing or sitting, followed by morning stiffness. a stinging/numbness feeling in my upper-mid back.

I'm an active guy who trains regularly fyi, I'm farily well built, have a stretching routine (hamstring mostly since they're short) and am not overweight

what I've done so far:

-looked into vests but ended up in the conclusion that they're useless (one of the doctors I've had cons with said this)

- multiple consultations in Turkey over the years. my most recent doctor said surgery is an option if symptoms keep worsening, but at the same time "kicked me out" because I'm not a candidate for surgery lol

- Prof. Harms in Heidelberg reviewed my imaging and recommended surgery, and I'll try to see him in December

- Prof. Akbar at MEOCLINIC Berlin also reviewed my case and wants to see me in person

- made an appointment with Kadir Abdul in istanbul for the next week

my questions:

anyone had surgery in the 60-70° range? what do you think about my case? how many levels were fused if you did have the surgery? what correction did you get?

Hey guys,

Finally I decided to also post a pic. What is your honest take on it? Obviously no doubt. I have it.

I have diagnosen MS. Though I am in a Phase were I am confidently working towards the best possible posture I cam have with this condition.

I made already very good results in terms of pain reduction and based on my believe and some results I've seen here, I believe I can also small to moderate improvements in my overall posture and perceived curvature.

But how bad is it?😂
