WhenI first saw the Pain Management Doctor a couple of weeks ago, he had taken a photograph of my back. He showed it to me, and said: "Do you see the S shape of your spine?" I said YES! He explained that the S shape of my spine is Scoliosis.
I saw a Neurologist last week who didn't think much of the Scoliosis diagnosis. Actually, he passed it off as nothing.
I see the pain management doc again this coming week, and will definitely get things clarified. I want to know if in fact I do have Scoliosis and what can be done about it. I also want him to refer me to a Scoliosis Doctor. I am very confused about this. One doctor says one thing, and the other just passes it of as though it were nothing....like the common cold!
I know the pain I'm having in my back, my leg and stomach. I was also told that the pain is Nerve Damage caused in part by Chemo and Radiation treatments. I love the way these doctors tell you WHAT you have, but, they don't tell you HOW to get rid of it?! This is why I'm SO confused about the scoliosis.
