Suggest Treatment For Mild Scoliosis And Osteopenia

I have mild scoliosis. I was told several years ago that it would not get worse with aging (I am now 66 years old). However, I also have osteopenia and have lost 2 inches in height over the last two years. I feel like there is compression of my organs??? Is that possible?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the case of scoliaosis and osteopenia then bony structure tends to bend with age and this may causes little reduction is height but may not actual reduces the height, hope this information helps, but reduction of height is not matter but it may some time cause the respiratory distress, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
