I've been reading a number of posts by people who have pain and haven't had surgery (yet) . I'm wondering if this is common. I've had pain since I was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 12 1/2. It began whenever I was sitting on a bench or stool, etc. with no back support. Now it is pretty much constant, and I take pain meds to help control it. Someone on this site was saying that some "studies" claim that scoliosis does not cause pain. I am proof that this is not so. I suspect that it's fairly common for pain to be associated with scoliosis. My surgeon, Dr.Akbarnia (San Diego), says that those with pain have curves that don't balance themselves out. I'm asking everyone: do you/have you had pain from your scoliosis not associated with surgery? Those who have had surgery: is your pain less now, more or just in different places? What are your comments about this?
Thanks!
