Hey everyone!
I was diagnosed with scoliosis about 20 years ago (I was only 6). All 3 curves were anywhere from the high 20s to the high 30s. I was put into a brace and my curves stayed the same as long as I consistently wore my brace. I stopped wearing it in 6th grade because I was getting teased a lot. A year later, I had surgery because my curves had more than doubled (Top 50s, Middle 80s, Bottom 60s). Everything has been fine other than the normal aches and pains until recently. I was told yesterday that I have MS. Does anyone know if there is any kind of link between MS and Scoliosis? I read somewhere that there is not, but it just seems strange.
Thanks everyone!
PS... I just recently found this forum and I really wish there would have been something when I was younger going through the whole bracing and surgery process...
