  • Does it have anything to do with Scoliosis?

    I don't know if this happens to anybody else but I was just wondering if scoliosis has anything to do with a really embarrasing topic..um..I get a lot of diarrhea and I just thought that my curving spine was pushing against the intestines or something, cause ever since I was diagnosed with scoliosis, ive been having different bowel habits. I know its embarrassing, but does this happen to anyone else?

    No, it shouldn't be related to your scoliosis, and it's a fairly common problem. You should be sure to mention it to your family doctor.
