Today we have a patient with a question mark instead of a spine. Scoliosis, neglected, like your country house. Let's figure out if this scoliosis could send him to the grave early.
In short, scoliosis by itself is not a reason to die. The heart stops because of other things, like clogged vessels, like an old water pipe. But! If scoliosis is severe, it can add problems.
Imagine: the spine bends like a branch under snow, the chest is flattened like a beer can. The heart and lungs can't work well, it's hard for them like it is for me on Monday morning. In the end, the heart starts to fail. So our patient gets heart failure, and it's goodbye.
Stay well, and keep your backs straight!

That must have been awfull and also, how rotten and dreadful. He had to be very upset about that. I have just a bit of that, not too much trouble by so far, but quite difficult to handle with it in the most of the days I running and get hurt on my left leg due to it.

Almost everyone has a mild one. The worst involve the curve and the vertebrae rotating and life becomes misery.

How does someone not break their back with scoliosis this bad? Were they completely immobile already?
