I am 56 years old and I'm having knee surgery tomorrow on my left knee. I have had dextroscoliosis since age 13 (33 degree curve-no treatments). My primary complaint of pain for the last month has been the shoulder scapula pain in my RIGHT shoulder that I see described on this forum. Really vicious, stabbing, eagle with talens on my right back kind of pain. It travels to shoulder and even down to elbow and my whole right chest is painful, even around the front and breast. I have been thinking it was related to the scoliosis, and I wish I'd seen this site a month ago.
I think I have been walking with my right shoulder. My left knee doesn't work right, so my left hip helps and with the curvature, I think my right shoulder is getting involved and stretched and irritated. AFter the surgery I would like to address the shoulder therapeutically. I have worked with a massage therapist and also pilates ( which I haven't been doing because of the knee). Does anyone you have other suggestions?)
Until I saw this forum, I thought I was making up a connection, but it is so evident that this experience is common to people with scoliosis. I appreciate the sharing that brought me here.
