can scoliosis get worse once past 20years?

i discovered i had scoliosis when i was about 16t, the doctors said it was borderline thinking about treatment or leaving it as it is as didn't really cause any discomfort. im 25 now and think over the last year its gotten progressively worse. i get quite alot of pain/grinding/clicking on my left hand side between shoulder blades in my neck. ESPECIALLY when i walk for prolonged periods of time or carrying something... so can it get worse after about 20 years of age?. i have heard that it dosnt really affect older people that much once you have had a last growth spurt.. im slightly scared now its going to get worse as my huband, who looked at it proply the other day says its possibly, slightly more noticeable than b4

help!

    It can get worse as you have now discovered with the pain you are experiencing i had the surgery for scoliosis at 14 to prevent future problems,

    the grinding and the clicking is your vertebrae moving so your back is moving and possibly curving more,and your husband sees its more obvious than it once was,

    as your bones are older now being curved can bring bad pain,also neck pain and hip pain too and it hurts you to walk and carry things try to avoid carrying things though as this will make it worse for you it can even be dangerous,

    so it may be worth you getting it fused this would hold the vertebrae together so would support your spine,i have had a metal rod put in along with the fusing and i no longer have any grinding sounds but i do get back aches though,

    but after the age of 20 they are unable to stretch the spine as the bones will have grown that shape my surgeon told me that so that's why i had mine done at 14 before it was too late,

    but they would able to fuse it to stop any bad pains that you have as it would stabilise your back,so its wise to get an x-ray done to see how worse it has got and in the mean time please don't lift heavy things its dangerous.
