Hi there,
Oh my goodness. I can't believe I've found you on here. Very similar is happening to me. I am a female in my thirties and was born with Scoliosis, having had spinal fusions when I was a child. I have been noticing that my torso is shrinking for quite a while now and went to spinal specialists to try and find out what is happening, yet they weren't able to do anything. They confirmed my observations when they measured my height and I had lost 3cm in 16 months. What you described, I am definitely relating to and am quite scared. My ribs on one side are touching my hip, and feel that the other side is shortening too. I feel the changes constantly and see these changes in the mirror.
I too am worried about my organs and find it more difficult to breath. Do you have any idea as to what might be causing this for you , or have any doctors or practitioners given you any leads at all?
In order to try and help prevent it furthering, or get it back to how it was before all this started, I have tried physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and kinesiology.
Hoping we can both find a lead as to what we can do to help this problem.
