My back has got very bent although, thank goodness, it doesn’t hurt. My mother was the same but suffered terrible pain.
I keep telling myself to stand up straight but I soon forget. Has anyone else got the classic hump-backed-old-crone look and is there anything to be done about it?

I doubt very much if you have scoliosis unless that was diagnosed by a doctor. It is a curvature of your spine, usually but not always slightly lower.

It sounds as though you have a dowager's hump, usually caused by poor posture and/or osteoporosis.
