I have scoliosis. Only a few people have been able to tell just by looking at me, though. One hip is lower than the other, and more noticeably, one shoulder lower than the other, and all of that sort of thing. When I was younger, the doctor predicted that I would be about 5'10 as an adult. I'm 5'5. My spine looks a bit like an "S", but it's definitely not as bad as it could've been, though I have to keep going in to get it checked periodically. And my spine doesn't just curve, it also twists. But I feel lucky because it also twists back into place, so on the outside I look pretty normal.
EDIT: The last time I went to the doctor, and he made me bend over (har har) to examine my spine and my perfectly shaped ass, when he finished checking it out--my spine that is--he said, "Okay, stand up straight. Oh wait, you can't." Yes, burn.
