i was diagnosed with scoliosis when i was about 10 years old and the doctor said i have a rare curve. my tail bone is crooked because i was dropped when i was a baby, so as i grew my spine curved one way and then turned to the other so now i have an "S" shaped spine. the curve between my shoulders is at about 38 degrese and l the one in my lower back is almost 50 degrese. when the muscles around my spine get tense my legs go numb and i fall over, sometimes they stay numb for hours until my fiance rubs out the knots and then i am sore for a day or two. i don't want to have the rods put in because i won't be able to ride my horse anymore, i already had to give up gymnastics and cheerleading. they also said that if i had the surgery i would have to have a historectomy because of the places where my spine curves is there anything else i can do? the only thing the doctor has done for me is get a "tense unit" to relax my muscles but that doesn't really work anymore. i can't live with this pain anymore it drives me crazy i have lost 2 jobs because of the numbing in my legs and not being able to get out of bed in the morning do any of you fellow sufferers have any ideas as to what i can do to stop the pain?
