Have you seen a doctor yet?

What you describe.. doesn't sound like Scoli to me....

What you are describing does not sound like scoliosis at all. It may be a totally unrelated health issue.

i agree with scoliocolorado. it doesnt sound like scoliosis to me. it sounds like something else. but i would have an appt. with a doctor just to find out if it is, or if not, then what it is

I also have other problems such as depression..irritable bowel and kidney problems..from what I have read all of which is linked to Scoliosis...

Where did you read this? I would honestly like to see this article. Depression can be linked to scoliosis in a way that those who are affected by scoliosis, especially when it is of a high degree, get depressed because they do not like the way they look, or are in such pain.

IBS has nothing at all to do with scoliosis. Loss of bowel movement and bladder control is linked to scoliosis and also spinal tumors. IBS is completely different.

Kidney problems, the only way I could see it linked is the compression of the kidneys by kyphosis which is when your back curves forward.

.At the moment my family is under alot of stress with my sister being sick and dont want to burden them with my new found worries..I know self diagnos is not a answer but could you guys plz tell me what you think...ty all and god bless you

Please please please please PLEASE do not self diagnose yourself. You are merely worrying yourself for nothing. You sound young, therefore you have no medical training or expertise. Please, go get checked out before worrying. This sounds nothing at all like scoliosis.

I agree with everyone else, doesn't sound like scoliosis. You should make a doctor's appointment and see if it really is scoliosis.

I also think it sounds nothing like scoliosis.. and u should stop worrying urself.. just make an appointment with an ortho and then ull be sure what it really is..
