My daughter is almost 12. So far she's had 2 x-rays,and another will be happening soon. She's had one with her shoes on,and one with them off! The one taking the X-ray at our local hospital told her to leave her shoes on and i questioned him about it,but he said it didn't matter. Also should the X-ray be taken when the child is relaxed and in the lopsided position,or should the tech try getting the child to stand as straight and even as possible?
A little background on my daughter,she's got a lot going on so its a little overwhelming,and i'm still not sure what is causing what and what to do,but somehow it all ties in together i'm sure. I would love to hear if anyone else has anything similar.
She's always had a Pectus Excavatum,but mild. At the time of puberty it seemed to get worse. At her yearly physical ,the ped said she had scoliosis , i noticed her back feeling different,like hump when she was sitting,it came on very quick! We went to the hospital for x-rays and sure enough,she has 2 small curves. We went to the orthopedics Doctor and he took another X-ray,and we ended up with 2 more diagnoses. spinal bifida occulta,and sprengles. At the same time my daughters shoulder was constantly higher then the other,and sometimes it's really exaggerated,she also complains of pain. SO this is where we are at now.
We go for our second appointment this month.
Thanks for reading and your help with anything
