scoliosis and osteoporosis/osteopenia

[belstone]

Has anyone heard of a connection between scoliosis and osteopenia? My bone density analysis shows that although my hip (femur study) is in the normal range, I have deteriorating osteopenia in my lumbar spine.

Hi...

I've never heard that there is any correlation between scoliosis and inflammatory bowel disease. Can you tell me where you got that info?

Thanks.
