I have the type of scoliosis caused by a birth defect,or a malformed vertabrae.
Anyone else have this type? It causes me daily pain,hard time falling a sleep,difiicult to be comfortable while sitting,lying,I also get numbness down my right leg when satnding too long or walking too far.
I read a book just last night and in it,it stated that congenital scoliosis patients often times have other problems as well,such as kidney problems,heart probelms,etc.Is this truse?Worried now there might be more wrong with me and just didn't find it yet.
My specialist I see tells me I have a very rare case.He says there is nothing to do to relieve pain or be more comfortable ,other than fusion surgery up my entire spine,and after getting that done,I will be disabled and unable to work anymore.I am still not convinced that that is my only option,deal with the pain or have surgery nd become disabled. There has to be more to try.
