I am a 35 year old woman who was Boston braced from ages 11-16. I have an S curve that was 29 thorax and 25 lumbar when I was 11, and was somewhere in the 30's at 21 when the clinic signed off on me.
For the past ~ 4 years I have had thoracic back pain on the convex side of my curve with tingling between my spine and scapula. I have also had neck and shoulder pain and tingling in my right hand. I also get severe tension headaches. All of my symptoms are on the convex side of my curve. I have gone through a bunch of PT and use a chiropractor, and even though I'm faithful in my exercises, my pain is not managed. I take Relefen and Norflex daily.
I have an appointment at the scoliosis clinic that used as an adolescent on January 14. But in the meantime I'm just wondering if my situation rings a bell with anyone. My neurologist and PT told me that my symptoms have nothing to do with scoliosis, but the chiropractor is pretty certain that is the cause.
I would love any advice you can give me!
