Dangerous? Well... I had this about 15 years ago and I am still alive. 46 degree curve to the right for the lumbar and 18 degree curve to the left in thoracic. The Lumbar curve was eventually corrected with surgery/rods/screws. I'm still stuck with the upper curve, and have lots of muscle pain, nerve pain, headaches, back pain, fibromyalgia, and bad posture.... ya.... at least I'm alive and not dying though!
