Hello, first I would like to say I have scoliosis and have had 6 surgeries including 3 sets of rods all as an adult. I am in pain almost all the time. I was never braced though they spotted a slight curve in 7th grade by 9th grade it was too curved to brace. Then my mom sent me to a chiro for a few years. Just a little background on myself leading up to my daughter.........she will be 12 this month. I noticed a slight curve and took her to her primary dr. he ordered xrays; you have to do them at the hospital ( I did not get to see the xrays ) and I recieved a call from the dr.s office later that week saying that she has a mild curve(no measurements) and to come back in 6 months. My worries are that with my background that if we are not aggressive enough on watching and treating this it will be too late like it was for me.
I would love any advice. should I wait 6 months or call him in 3 or 4 and tell him I can't wait anymore
should I just go ahead and make an appt with a specialist now?
though I have alot of experience with my adult scoliosis and revision surgeries all this is very new and scary with my daughter.
I do not want her to suffer like I have and still do!
