You might want to suggest that they biopsy the area that is swollen. Maybe that would give a better explanation as to what is going on. If it is something like mono it will show up there too. I doubt scoliosis would do something like that to a persdons back. Wishing you the best of luck!

Thanks for asking . Sorry I did not reply sooner. Anyway,

unfortunately when the dr called he talked to my hubby and he did not

ask all the questions I had. All the dr said was that only had 3

degrees of scoliosis. I really did not care about that - we were not

checking for that in my opinion. I have no idea why has this

swelling on his back, nor exactly why is so tired. The dr said we

could go back for the mono test but I know it is not mono. He is not

sick like that. I remember when the ped thought the oldest had it, she

was way different. I assume he is tired from the disease. He goes back

to the dr in Jan. So basically no answers to anything - I may just call

the dr myself, but feel like I am over exagerating things in his

opinion. He never even said he was checking for scoliosis. Or why he

would be. My oldest has about 10 degrees of it, and the ped knew that

she had it by looking at her back and sent us for the xrays for exact

numbers. So with her I knew what we were doing. I feel like the rheumy

forgot what my concerns were. Anyway, a bit of venting here. Thanks for

your concern and any advice/ideas are always welcome. Hope Rob is having

a good day! Michele ( 16, pauci & spondy)

Hi Michele,

I wish you had been able to get a better, more definitive, answer about

what's going on with Chris' back. I know that feeling you mentioned,

wondering if maybe you're just over-exagerrating things, but it is nice

to be able to have your concerns addressed. If I were you, I think I

would call the doctor back and talk to him directly about your specific

questions. Too bad it wasn't you who picked up the phone, instead of

your husband. And too bad is continuing to have the swelling and

other symptoms.

Take Care,

Georgina
