Scoliosis

Hi. I usually have bad posture due to shyness and it doesn't help that I'm sat in front of the computer all day. Can anybody give me info on Scoliosis? I think I might develop it soon and won't know what to do. Any info or advice would be great. Thanks.

Pretty sure you can't just "develop" scoliosis due to poor posture.

Think it's due to genetics, and symptoms tend to come to light during the pubescent growth spurt.

I was diagnosed with scoliosis and I'm now waiting for my operation which is due in 40 odd days.

What do i need to organize for aftercare and how long am I bed ridden for?

So nervous!!
