What activities have you been doing to get to this point

I study science subjects at school, so for much of my time I'm sitting on stools designed for 14 year olds. My posturr isn't great in those classes but I make a point of trying to sit up.
I like to do climbing from time to time so as a training thing, I do pull ups most days, maybe I'm doing it erong in sone way.

All in I don't know desu

I had a surgery, and now I feel way more better. I was at anything like 67° now I'm at 16° or 17°.
Before, everytime I had to sit down or to lie down in my bed was painful, now I can to sit without having any pain and can to sleep on my back.
My low part of the back isn't blocked, so I still can to bend (only the lower part, the middle and upper are blocked) but I don't abuse with that.
If you need a surgery, you'll just have to forget about sport for 1 year, and can't to exerce anymore sports like boxe,rugby,etc..
I can to promise you that isn't terrible

practise swimming, it's the best for your back

Get a back brace, go for long walks, and try to exercise your shoulders with a dumbbell.

It's normal. Scoliosis tends to appear towards the end of development, it runs in my family so I have several accounts including my own. The bad news is that scoliosis never really goes away. That doesn't mean you have to live with back pain forever though, the vast majority of diagnosed people only have mild cases and those can be easy to deal with as long as you take care of your back.

My first piece of advice would be get that X-ray and get a proper diagnose from a traumatologist. If you are currently experiencing pain, it's likely that you have muscle contractures due to your own body weight being imbalanced towards one side of your body, so try to get sent to physical therapy to get those worked out before you start hitting the gym. This is important because if you start working out without treating them you'll end up overexerting those muscles (or the non-contractured side by compensation) and potentially worsening the lesion and the pain.

As for your active lifestyle,as long as you do a proper workout routine that protects your back, you should be fine. My first hand experience is with lower back scoliosis (L1 through L5) so it might not be the exact same for you (although most of my initial pain also traveled to my trapezes and upper back because I was so tense), but your best bet are core exercises. Your first objective (I mean both as an overall goal and as the first step in your workout routine from now on) should be strengthening your abs and core muscles, even BEFORE you start working on your back, because that's what will help support your body weight and take stress off your spine. Swimming is a popular choice but it's not a necessary one. Refrain from heavy arm/shoulder workouts until your back is no longer in pain, and never start lifting before working your core and back, I cannot stress this enough. Running and cycling can be sort of touch and go, consult with your doctor and they will tell you what to do depending on the severity of your case.

I have scoliosis but my spine makes an S shape. Honestly I can't even feel the pain anymore I'm so used to it. Worse that happens is my nerve will get pinched and my muscle will spazz out. For me my daily life is me constantly leaning left or right never straight, angling my self, switching a dom foot to put weight on. Not to mention it can fuck up your hips too, my right side protrudes more than my left. My upper body is not proportionate to my legs which looks odd. I mean hell I can't even look over the steering wheel but my legs reach pedals and floorboard. In the end scoliosis sucks and prevent it as much as you can
