Hi all!
So, I am sorry, I'm about to complain about some stuff related to scoliosis and doctors' attitude.
So basically last year I went to see a vertebrologist(he is surgeon) who specializes in...

Hey! I'd say my back pain is 5(bees), especially when moving somehow, otherwise just 4, so 4-5. Rarely is gets to 8(can't move, it hurts so much), fortunately this happens only if I am very very...

People have believed for centuries in the miasma theory. It turned out to be a fantasy, like so many other things. Like the humors theory of of Hippocrates and so on. The practice being old\ancient...

Thank you for your replies!

Hey, all!
Look, I was wondering if fatigue is common occurence with scoliosis? I attend some language courses and I must carry 2 books. Overall it feels like a burden. And sometimes I feel like I'm...

Hello, it's been some time since I came here to rant about my spine, but... things have got worse yesterday. I've hit my knee when cycling many months ago, and eventually it turned I have prepatellar...

I have some sort of pins and needle sensation when touching/using my left thumb fingertip. Is it possible for this to be caused by some nerve pinching in the neck? If it were so, wouldn't it affect...

Well, I got involved myself into cycling. I was very angry for a long time on myself(I guess) that I couldn't do swimming the way I wanted. Basically the morning after the bike ride I could hardly...

So, whenever I have any talk with her about scoliosis I keep...

I hope that I'm not annoying about writing on this forums about my issues. But I can't talk about this somewhere else. So feel free to ignore. But I must post this. The orthopedist doesn't want to...

Thanks for the suggestions. I still wait for the x-rays to get emailed me but its not an extreme cervical kyphosis. Its like a slightly reversed curve. I figured out that its a very very bad idea to...

Is cervival kyphosis common amongst scoliotic parients?

I had some cervical x-rays and now I can pretty much imagine why I have neck pain when I tilt my head.

For a long time I have slept...

I have not really started the thread to talk about theories but trying to share a warning. Whether the "practitioner" is a chiropractor or not is beside the point.


On top of what I have written...

I guess the sentence was badly formulated. I don't want to go to US. Because I know its extraordinarily expensive.


I wanted to ask one more thing. I know that after fusion rotation is out of...

Hi! Basically I've been subjected to quite a bit of quackery in my life(well 25yo).

There's been a guy who charged 100$ for a bit of massage and claimed that he could cure scoliosis(or anything...

Hello
I had an appointment last year with an orthopedist but back then I haven't asked anything about surgery. But that's beside the point.

I've been reading the forums and I've seen these...
