Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday!!!!! I had the evaluation yesterday for my back. It is schiosis of the spine. They gave me some exercises to do and I go back in a week. I am officially retired now. I called work and applied for social security over the internet.
Isn't it great we are set free from nicotine addiction? No matter what happens, we do not have to light up. Enjoy your quit!!! Namaste

Good Morning Mike.
you're probably doing your own research but
Declining Bone Density Causes Adult Scoliosis
Declining bone density is a major factor in adult scoliosis. It's essential that you find out why your bone density is decreasing if you have scoliosis. Menopause can lead to bone mineral loss which causes the spine to deteriorate rapidly. Bone density loss isn't just a women's issue, though. It may start earlier in women because of menopause, but studies show that by age 70, you lose bone density at the same rate regardless of gender. Millions of men have osteoporosis.
This loss of bone density combined with poor postural habits creates scoliosis curvature in areas of more compression. Maintaining good bone density may require hormone replacement therapy. You may also need nutrient supplements to maintain healthy levels of magnesium, manganese, boron, vitamin C, phosphorus and B vitamins. In addition, aging stomachs produce less stomach acid. This condition, called hypochlorhydria, prevents the absorption of many needed bone density nutrients.
