Hi, My name is Alison and I have a 18month old boy called Fraser with scoliosis, he was diagnosed in Feb 2006 but was only at 12 degrees so we were told they would see him again in 1 year but I could see it getting worse and in October 2006 it was 40 degrees and they still wanted to wait, well it is now 64 degrees and I have finally found a doctor who wants to do something and has given me 2 options, either casting or surgery and have only a short time to make up my mind which way to go but don't know much about either so wondering if anyone can give me some advice or point me in the right direction on articles. We live in Australia and they don't seem to do much casting and have been told one of the reasons is the weather, we live up north and it just doens't get cold.
Fraser also has eating problems, in that he can't eat a large amount and therefore he is very underweight, he is currently on a nasal gastric tube and they are talking about putting a button in. One other thing he doesn't feel pain, has anyone else got a little one that has any of these problems and can they be associated with the scoliosis.
A very confused mum
