The woman who posted her xrays several days ago, and with whom Pooka1 and I discussed the possibility of "hysterical" or "functional" scoliosis deleted her thread. I hope she's still watching. I know her user ID and first name, but I'm going to honor what I conceive as a need for privacy.
Unfortunately, people seem to think that issues such as this are less genuine than things like structural scoliosis. Just because it's termed "hysterical" or "functional" does not mean it's untreatable. It's just treatable by things other than surgery.
I sent a copy of the subject xrays to the surgeon who Pooka1 mentioned. She thinks this xray looks remarkably like the ones from the patient whose spine straightened completely when she was put under anesthesia.
