Could i have scoliosis?!


Question:

Could i have scoliosis?

ok when i was younger my doctor said that i did have it but it wasnt bad enough to worry about. i've done my research and i learned that scoliosis curves are from side to side. but the curve in my back isnt from side to side. my spine is straight but it curves in really bad at my lower bad.. (if i lay flat on my back on the floor, my lower back doesnt touch and i can fit my arm under it without touching my back at all) i also have a lot of pain in my lower back if i stand or sit for too long. please help!! thanks in advance!!


Answers:

Thats not scoliosis, its a curvature of the spine known as lordosis. My mother has this condition, and I'm a radiologic sciences student, and that's one of the conditions we discussed. It would be wise to get an xray and see what options you have.
