I am looking for exerience in pain management for 12 yr old scoliosis girl.
We just got diagnosis 3-4 months ago.
We (she) are having surgery this summer as her curve is rapidly progressing. (Shriners -Sac) will be on short wait list.
As I watch that rib hump on her back grow, her pain seems to be increasing.
Shes complaining a lot about pain. Now that summers started and pe and basketball have ended I noticed she's having more pain. Maybe more time to think about it or the activity was good. I ask her to point where and she puts her finger on where her spine looks to have greatest curve and where the hump starts.
Curve was 59- 3 months ago but I can visibly see it getting worse (scary).
Is Cold pack, heating pad, massage, menthol rub stuff, or any of that been effective for anyone?
I appreciate this blog so very much!!!
