Son had bad shoulder pain that kept worsening over several months (he didn't tell us it actually , then he was diagnosed w scoliosis & lordosis. Once he started physical therapy specifically to strengthen his rhomboid in preparation for surgery, he found immediate reduction in the pain level. No further pain in his right shoulder since surgery, ironically it's switched to the right, I assume as everything continues to shift around. Have you discussed further pt or looked into another facility? How old is your daughter and where/how severe are her curves? It's so tough to see your own child in pain, my sympathy to you both.
