Hi there! I'm new to the forum, and might be a bit premature posting here, but I feel that being able to talk somewhere is better than keeping things inside. You can call me Cindy, my husband is an OTR truck driver, so he is not home during the week to support me. He does on the phone, but that just isn't the same. Which is why I am here.
Ok, today the school conducted a scoliosis screening with 7th graders, the school nurse called to inform me that my son, Eric (12) has a curve, didn't give me any specifics and I didn't know to ask. She said he needs to be evaluated with his doctor, I called and made an appt. and since it isn't considered an emergency, that appt. isn't until April 27th. Well, since I know nothing of this, I went surfing the net...which led me here. In reading things here and beings that I am not a patient person, I decided to call Orthopeadics and he now has an appt. for Friday morning. I am quite nervous at the outcome, but feel better knowing I don't have to wait a full month to find out for sure.
Basically, I'm wondering, how good are the school screenings, does he really have it and if so what affect might it have on him?
Anyways, thanks for listenin!
Cindy
