I was wondering what those who eventually learned that their lumbar curve had increased, felt as "symptoms".
I am fused from T5 to L2 (Harrington rod, circa 1990), but have been having a lot of problems with my lower back lately. A CAT scan has confirmed that my L5-S1 is herniated and is pushing on the S1 nerve, but I also have this feeling of being "crooked" - not sure how to explain it, but I feel sort of off-balance. I'm wondering if it's from my herniated disc and all it's done to my body or from my scoliosis progressing. I'm also wondering if they would have picked up on a curve progressing from a CAT scan (nothing in the 2 sentence report I got from it mentioned scoliosis, but I know that sometimes if you don't ask them to look for something, they don't).
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
