Hello! My name is Rebecca. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when in 2002 when I was 16 with a 40* thoratic curve and 25* lumbar curve. In 2006 my scoliosis progressed to a 52* thoratic curve and the lumbar curve stayed the same. Over the past couple years, I have noticed that the pain is getting considerably worse. Plus my grandmother has severe scoliosis at 90*, and I am worried that mine will progress similarly. I just recently had new x-rays done, but the results are very confusing. The radiologist said that both curves are now 28*. I am finding this hard to believe that my thoratic curve has actually decreased by 24* considering it is more painful than ever, and my ribs in the back are starting to stick out. I have photos of my x-rays. Does this look like a 28* curve? I am not looking for an "official" opinion or anything, just some friendly advice. My doctor didnt know what to make of the discrepancies and told me to see a specialist, and said "either way it looks bad."
Thanks in advance for any help or advice :-)
