I have 3 children Nicholas age 7 has cronic constipation, Emily age 3 3/4 years chronic constipation, GERD, and delayed digestion and Tyler age 9 months GERD. I had noticed that as a new born he favored one side all the time the Public health nurses told me just start changing his position and he will adjust accordingly but he seemed to always go back and tilt to the right. When he sleeps at night he curves his whole body arching his back. Now that he is a little older and is sitting up he is tilting to the right all the time when we try to straighten him the minute we take our hands awy he tilts right back to the right side. He does stand up when stood up at an object (the crib, couch, tub) but doesn't seem to have the strength to pull himself up and if he falls down from the standing position he crys to be helped back up again. I was wondering if this sounds at all like scoliosis? Can scoliosis run in families? My aunt had surgery for scoliosis and now lives with a steel bar in her back and a long scar along side her spinal cord to keep back straight. Any information I could get before going to see my family Doctor on January 20th to be prepared would be helpful.
