The girls had their physical today.
My younger daughter’s shoulders have always been slightly rounded (this has been a problem for her in gymnastics), but recently her lower spine has been looking as though it is hyper curved. I marked it down to being a mom with an overactive imagination but, decided to ask her ped to check it out during their upcoming physical. Before I could bring up the subject, the ped informed me she was sending my 12yro for a scoliosis x-ray. I started to ask her if she meant kyphosis or lordosis instead of scoliosis, but realized I didn’t know much about either type of curvature and the ped wouldn’t be able to answer my questions anyway, so I let it go.
What would be the odds of BOTH of my girls having scoliosis?
I am so upset.
My heart sank as I scheduled an appointment with an ortho today. We’ll see him on the 24th after she returns from her STEM camp.
