/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

OP here. I've only just found and only just got my xrays done, but I think my doctor put in a guess at about 20 degrees as she was feeling my spine when I first went in for backpain. I have an S shaped spine. I don't quite recall everything she said because I thought I would just get recommended panadol and be told to lift from my knees more. But I was told that I could not get surgery (I wonder if that is because it's only a mild angle or because I am twenty and stopped growing ages ago) and my backpain is from my back muscles over compensating. Because of the curve of my spine, it has deformed my rib cage a little, impacting my breathing on my left side (noticed only when I try to take a deep breath, its as if I have no room in there) which is what made me hesitant about corsets in the first place. I'll have to do the back exercises, but I am led to believe there is nothing that can be done for my spine at this point until my xrays have been looked at. I am just not looking forward to the certain arthritis and I am sick of this constant back pain. I want to thank the person who recommended bishonenrancher, I'm feeling a lot more confident about the corsetry, after I was led to believe from a few emails to corset makers and tightlacers that anyone with back problems shouldn't ever tightlace. I was starting to think the closest thing I would get to wearing a corset is that god awful brace, and would be stuck trying to think how to make it look as sexy as something as Dita Von Teese would wear. Rhinestones on a spinal brace, anyone?
