So I might have a bit of actual scoliosis, but my main problem isn't my spine being curved from side to side, but from front to back. The "S" in my spine is curved so much that my ribs stick out and it really hurts me to try to hunch over or stand for long periods of time. Is this considered scoliosis, or something else?

Speaking purely from experience, I'm the same way, but I also have scoliosis. I think it's just the way some people are built, but I'm not sure at all.

I looked up other types of back problems, and it is possible to have either kyphosis or lordosis. I think I might have lordosis, which is when the lower back has a greater curve to it, because the pelvis is tilted forwards, correct me if I'm wrong.
