There isn't a forum here for the young ones with scoliosis, so I'm starting a thread!
Ever since he was tiny he's always been "kinda crooked" so in the summer I took him to be checked. (i could feel that his spine was off centered) The Xray shows a curve of about 20 degrees (one doc said 16 other said 25). He also has 2 hemivertabrae. The orhtopedist ordered an ultrasound of his bladder and kidneys because scoliosis at this young of an age can affect them. Turns out he has an enlarged left kidney with hydronephrosis and thinning of the renal parenchyma. Meaning something is blocking the "tube" and the urine is backing up into his kidney. He's going for testing next month to find out what is causing the blockage.
So I guess I'm looking for others who have a young one with scoliosis. It's very uncommon, however the stats show that if a little one is going to develop scoliosis, the baby boys get it more often. It's also very hard to find info about it as well. If you have any sites that deal specifically with toddlers, I appreciate seeing them. thanks
