I have a 13 year old son that is very active, plays all sports including football. After his game last Thursday he told me that he had gotten a stinger during the game. He said he just shook his arms till he got the feeling back in his arms. He never came off of the field. Thursday night and Friday he said he was kind of sore. He took ibuprofen and put ice on his shoulder and neck. Saturday and Sunday he seemed to be fine. Monday he ask me to look at his shoulder. His left shoulder was about 1 1/2 inches higher than his right. I called and made him a doctors appointment, the doctor sent us to the emergency room to have x rays done. The doctor in the doctors office and in the emergency room told him he would never play sports again. The ER doctor showed us the xrays and said he has scoliosis at the top of his spine and an extra vertebra at C7 & T1. He has an appointment at Scottish Rite on October 2nd. I have never heard of this. Can anyone give me any information? It's just hard to imagine that everything can come to screaching hault in just a matter of minute
s. He is just devistated that he can't play sports or anything. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
