Hi, I am a 42 yo woman. I wore a Milwaukee brace from age 10 to 13. Over the years I have had back problems off and on. In Dec 2000 I was dx'd with early stage 1 breast cancer. Every time I get a pain, they send me for x-ray, bone scan. My recent complaint has been for two months my left shoulder and ribcage has been hurting. X-ray normal, bone scan, no significant change from last one. My new oncologist, upon reading my bone scan, asked me if I realized that I had a significant curve. He seems to think that my back, shoulder, rib pain and tenderness may be from the scoliosis. What do you think. As you can imagine I am quite sick of Dr's and pills, and tests, but my quality of life is suffering. My Onc. thinks that I should see a Physiatrist sp? My PCP keeps giving me new meds for the pain, first Motrin 600, didn't work, now Naproxyn 500, not working. Any suggestions.
Thanks, Mar
