Hello everyone!
I am currently 17 years old and next week I will be going to Ottawa, ON to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario to see Dr. Moroz. Because I will be turning 18 in September, I am not supposed to be seen by a doctor in a children's hospital once I reach the age of majority.
On my last visit in January, I was told that he wished to see me 6 months later to see if my curve has progressed and if not, there really isn't anything we can do. He told me to try physiotherapy, which I have been doing for the past 5 months, with no results. I am in a lot of pain and I am having a very hard time coping with it. No medication will help.
I am wondering, what do I do if he says that my curve has not progressed and there is nothing he can do for pain? This is the 5th doctor I have seen, and all of them tell me that there is nothing to do for the pain. This is something that I do not believe. How is that even possible?
Thank you very much in advance for reading this and giving me advice. You are all so kind,
Justine
