Well hello all! I had a challenge getting my account on here, finally through the technical glitches we got me here. So my name is Patrick and I wanted to start a discussion and seek some sage advice on my situation. I live in Southern California and I have been diagnosed with scoliosis ever since I was very young, but because the curves is an S and line up not a huge deal. Now fast forward to my current age 42 and I am starting to feel this way more than ever before and lower back issues. Add to my situation a 9 month old beautiful baby boy and I want to make sure this doesn't progress and we are going to have many hours of playing and laughing pain free.
I went to my Dr. to look at my situation which she was alarmed and sent me to Dr. Gordon over at Newport Medical. He wasn't alarmed and he told me "that is just how you were born", so yeah great covering what I already know. That was it dead end and no further advice or treatment and we have nothing to really talk about and moving on.
So I am going to try and see if if I can find someone in the Southern Cal area, that would be more aggressive or rather innovative in their approach at helping me out. So, if there is someone who can recommend anyone who they think would be good for adult patients in the LA or OC area I would really appreciate it!
I am currently looking at talking to these physicians and if you have any input I would appreciate that as well!
Jeffrey C. Wang, MD (UCLA Spine Center, Los Angeles)
Arya Nick Shamie (UCLA Comprehensive Spine Center, Los Angeles)
Frank Acosta Jr., MD (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles)
That is it for now, I would be not telling the truth to say that that I am not worried about investigating this and my future prognosis. However, better to do it now than in 10 years with more possible complications and problems in healing.
