    Although I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone it has bought me relief to see that I'm not the only person suffering with scoliosis pain at the moment. I currently have intermittent numbness in my left leg and extreme pain when trying to put pressure on it so am hobbling about on crutches. I have been told that discs 4 & 5 have shattered and there is disc matter floating about somewhere in there. I am taking tramadol, ibuprofen and paracetamol on a daily basis combined with a tens machine and heat treatments but it's no way to live, it's just existing from day to day. Even the tramadol doesn't seem so effective any more. Before this there was talk of revision surgery, but I feel i'm pinning all my hopes on this as I can't see anything else that can might be effective.
