Hi!
I am new here. I have a 13 year old son, Jimmy, who was diagnosed with scoliosis. At this time, he is just being screened for it every 6 months, with no further treatment. Jimmy also has mild asthma & Epilepsy. He just recently had a vagus nerve stimulator implanted to try to control his drug resistant seizures.
My question is this....About 3 months ago, Jimmy started getting stretch mark looking things on the sides of his back (Jimmy has always been thin & has not had a rapid weight loss)...I didn't take him in to have it looked at. Today I looked at his back & his lower back is covered in these stretch mark looking things. I also noticed that I could see his curve in his spine, I have not been able to see it when he was first diagnosed. Could these marks on his back have something to do with his scoliosis? I am baffled at what they can be from!
Thank you in advance!
