Sorry I have more questions.
I have curves of 26 and 18.
1. One doctor (non-Kaiser) said that i should check every 10 years to see if my curve is going to progress. Is that normal or should I have an xray more often than that?
1a. Will my curavature increase with age?
2. Does anyone have Kaiser in San Francisco? How can I see a speciliist within Kaiser about my scoliosis? My primary care doctor doesn't seem to have a lot of knowledge in this area. My dcotor thinks I am pretty healthy (never missed a day of work due to scoliosos). A lot of my symptoms are annonying but not painful yet.
3. What symptoms should I look for to indicate a worsening condition? I have a lot of symptoms such as decreased lung capacity, soemtimes I feel tingling in my leg once in a while and I am getting some tests (echocardiogram) to check for MVP. My EKG came out normal.
Thanks again (I know not everyone on this board is a medical doctor) but I am just curious about everyone's opinion.
I was treated for scolioss when I was 13-18 by wearing a brace.
