I am a 55 year old mother of 28 year old Matthew who was recently diagnosed with scoliosis. We know very little about this. He works a full time job in which he is standing and moving constantly. He takes pain-killers on a regular basis to control the back pain and has even resorted to Percocet. Because of his intake of over-the-counter pain-killers, he has recently suffered from minor internal bleeding from his bowels. He is in such discomfort. No doctor has recommended any further tests so he just lives with the pain. I don't think his degree of scoliosis is as severe as some I've seen, but nevertheless, he is in constant pain. Any suggestions? Shouldn't his own doctor have recommended a specialist? We really don't know where to go from here. Matthew lives away from home so I don't get regular updates on his health, but I want to become more involved and help him as he seems to be suffering more and more pain.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can give.
