Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 You are comparing apples and oranges. Your comment was a bit heartless as well to those of us who have been suffering for years and years. Cancer is a terrible thing. Scoliosis for some of is a life long battle as well. I can barely walk or stand any longer. I am in pain all the time. I have a hard time breathing. it is effecting all my major organs. I am 56 and have only further problems ahead of me. Cancer is terrible. But those of us battling continued scoliosis problems are suffering greatly and endlessly. ________________________________ From: Lyta2000 <Lyta2000@...> Scoliosis Treatment Sent: Friday, September 9, 2011 9:25 PM Subject: RE: New with lots of questions  Cancer is dreadful not scoliosis.

It was the only really active group I could find. Last week during a routine yearly physical my 13 year old daughter's doctor was concerned about her back. We went and got the xrays done that same day. The next day the doctor's nurse called and said my daughter has mild scoliosis and to come back in 6 months. That was it, just hung up after that! Didn't bother asking if we had any questions or concerns or anything! Needless to say, it left us shocked and confused. I then went and got a copy of the report and this is what it says " 10 degree dextrocurvature is present at T4. 9 degree levo curvature is observed centered at L1. No hemivertebra or other deformities of the thoracic vertebral bodies are present. Some subluxation or fracture. The paraspinous soft tissues unremarkable. Conclusion: Mild S scoliosis " Now, we have no idea what any of this means! We don't know if we should be seeking a second opinion or are we ok to wait the 6 months for another check up? Should we seek out a specialist? Can she still participate in sports and PE at school? Are there any limitations? What do all those numbers and words in the report mean? As you can, we are very confused. I love her doctor very much and I fully trust the doctor but she kind of dropped the ball on this by not offering us any information! So, I am here hoping to find some answers and some advice! Thanks Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
