Hi Bill, my flexibility has been reduced but slowly returning. At first I couldn't shave my legs, put socks on or trim my toenails. I finally pulled my foot up high enough onto the opposite thigh the other night to trim my toenails so there's nothing I can't do now. I washed my car for the first time today, I've been gardening, kayaking, swimming and snorkelling. Swimming is the hardest. When I'm on my tummy I feel like my head isn't high enough out of the water so I'm very awkward, but floating on my back is just fine.

Sorry, I don't know what ADR is.

How big is your curve and have you seen a spine Ortho?
