Hello,
My son is 13 and his curve was discovered at a routine doctor's visit this fall. He started seeing the scoliosis specialist.
He had an x-ray and good news....we are watching and waiting.
The curve is mild but merits watching.
He has to visit every 12 weeks for measurements and/or xrays.
We went back for the 2nd visit today.
I was surprised when the doctor pointed out stretch marks on my son's back. I did NOT see these 12 weeks ago.
The doctor said that this sometimes happens with scoliosis.
I was stunned to see those familiar silvery stretch marks that I remembered from huge pregnant belly on my son's back.
They are horizontal....on either side of his spine and one running right across it.
My question is.......does everyone with scoliosis get these?
Will there be more?
I suppose in the grand scheme of things this is small issue....and I'm thankful....but also curious.
Thank you for any information
Ty's Mom.
