I would encourage the OP to keep up with core exercises and maybe get one of those inversion tables. I think it would have helped me. I have bad scoliosis and went from 6' in HS to 5' 10" 35 years later. I felt it happen almost at once though. In a short amount of time my clothes did fit the same. The real blow to my morale came when I was at the Dr. and the nurse asked my height. When I said 6' she was skeptical. A measurement confirmed the sad truth. Xray are depressing. My spine looks like a spiral staircase. I used to have Lemond bikes, but the top tube length is a bit too stretched out for me. However, I have long arms and legs and can still ride 56 - 58 frames. I think next year I will get the operation to straighten my spine out. I'll have to wonder if my current bikes will fit after that.
