Hello!

My name is . I am 22 years old and found out when I was 6 years

old that I have congenital scoliosis. I live near Philadelphia, PA. I

have not had surgery and my curve is at 51 degrees.

The reason I have joined this group is because I've been having a lot

of pain in my hips. I've had chronic pain in my lower back for my

entire life and only within the last year my hips have been starting

to hurt a lot. I get a tingly numbness in my hips that sometimes goes

down into my knees and my hips also pop a lot. The pops don't hurt,

but are more frequent in my right hip than in my left hip. My right

hip is actually slightly higher than my left hip because of the way

my spine is. My curve is in the middle of my spine and curves to the

left.

I'll have to put up some pics of myself eventually so you all will

know what I look like and what my back/hips look like.

Anyhow, I was just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms or

something similar and what has done about them.

Just let me know!

thanks
