Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Two of my girls have slight scoliosis - no definite reason why but doctor thinks that EDS could be a contributing factor. However, we discovered it before the EDS dx, and at that time the speculation was on the fact that they both have a short leg. Their legs and their scoliosis are very similar (same sides, same location, etc). I have a short leg, too, but no scoliosis. I could have had it growing up and just stretched and strengthened myself out of it. However, now I have pelvic trouble - which is blamed on the short leg. My mom has taken huge amounts of Vit. C for as long as I can remember. She has a lot of joint problems, but not much pain (she wiggles while she walks) - and the pain she does have goes away as she moves around. She also had an MRI years ago when the hospital first got one - they used her as a guinea pig (she'd had breast cancer and they wanted to use her to check out their capabilities) - At that time they said her body was full of arthritis - but she didn't feel any arthritis pain - still doesn't about 15 years later. Maybe it's the vitamin C. She also decided she wasn't going to have arthritis! My brother and I both have facial asymmetry complete with droopy eye - never thought much of it though, like you said - I thought lots of people (if not everyone) had it. Now I'm going to go around looking at everyones face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
