Scoliosis...?!


Question:

Scoliosis...?

Okay, In fifth grade we had a scoliosis screening test. They sais I had it so we went to our family doctor and he said it was about a 13 degree curve so we went to an ortopedist. He took an X-Ray and said there was no scoliosis. But in 6th grade another test and they said I have it. When I filmed myself leaning over I bent to the right more. Any Help?


Answers:

Start talking about bracing you back. Please.

I have scoliosis, and i only found out in grade 8. it was mild, only an 18 degree curve. But as i progressed, it increased to 25, 32, 40... now its bordering 52. im going in for surgery this summer to correct it. And i really wouldnt want anyone else to have it get as bad as it did to me. Over the past few years, ive noticed the curve has changed my torso. and theres pain.

Please seriously consider bracing your back before it reaches 20-30. I did it at 38 degrees, but it was no help. it just progressed. Also keep up an excersise routine and go to the chiroprator to see wat routines would be good for you.

good luck.
