Scoliosis wont kill you,The condition is virtually painless,but can cause twisting of the shoulders,hips,chest,back,and rib cage.Some causes are poor posture,uneven leg length,birth defect or polio.It is most common among teen girls.There are very few if any early warning signs. You may need physical therapy to strengthen your back ,back brace,and/or shoe lift. In very severe cases you may need an operation to correct the spine.I really hope this helps to ease your mind Good Luck!

Here is an excellent link that can explain a lot to you. Scoliosis usually does not cause death or even discomfort. I'm sure there is an exception to this rule, there generally is to everything. Check out this link. I think you will be relieved. http://www.iscoliosis.com/faq.html

I think it cannot "kill" you but it can make living very uncomfortable and painful. Now there is surgery to correct this condition.

none...its just a lateral curvature of the spine. It could hurt but i highly doubt it could kill you
