Hello, I'm new to this forum as well. My 9 year old son had his shirt off last week and I noticed a lump between his sternum and nipple. I called his doctor and they asked me to bring him in to be checked. I took him to the doctor the same day and he had x-rays done. His doctor called me the next day and said he had scoliosis, but not to worry about it. Being a parent of one child that is bi-polar, when a doctor tells me to not worry, I worry. My husband immediately made an appointment with a Chiropractor that we know and took him in today for an exam. More x-rays were done and the diagnosis was confirmed so we have another appointment for Wednesday. Right now, like you, I am doing research and getting my "questions for the doctor" list ready to go. My son does suffer from migraines (which are inherited) and I am beginning to wonder if the scoliosis may be causing this. He had screenings done at school, but I never received a letter from the nurse or the school. I wish you luck, and my prayers will go out to you. By the way my father is an OTR driver as well. Small world huh?
