STOP SLOUCHING.

Thanks all!

I was trying to type 54 degrees. The "standard" degree range for the angle of the spine (at whichever vertebrae they measure it between - can't remember off-hand) is between 40 and 50 degrees. Thus, I had a mild case and still had to wear that damn thing for 2 years.

TOG:  I did not count on your return.  I have slandered you and dishonored myself.  I will redeem myself through death with the seppuku ritual, which will cause me to hunch onver in pain as I expire.

No need to do all that on my account - gets the floors all messy or ruins perfectly good drop-cloths.

Seriously - that brace was fun in some ways, admittedly. I was never sure how the people in my high school saw it. Did they think it was from an accident? Some experiment gone awry? No one ever asked, outside of a couple of friends (who were as much social outcasts as me) and I never said. I definitely confused the shit out of my classmates, though, so at least I had that going for me 

At least I never had to get the 3 titanium rods surgically inserted into my spine, so 2 years in a horrible brace is a small price to pay.

Yikes, glad the brace rectified the problem though!  I've known two folks who needed the rods, or disks fused to resolve things.  They were both very much active folks though, and ended up working around it to the point you'd never know unless they told you.
