                        I am a 53 year old male and have the same problem.  Dr said surgery was not an option due to condition of spine so brace an option although he recommends a restrictive CTLSO and said it would probably be required to keep pressure off curves and stabelize.  Very frustrated. Just need someone to chat with.  Thanks.
