My doctor told me I have scoliosis. You cant really notice it. Its only a little bump on the right side of my back. It doesnt bother me that much. It only hurts when I lift something heavy. My doctor said its only a 7 degree. They cant do anything until its a 21 degree.
i dont want the bump to be THAT big. Does anyone know a way the bump can go away?
Answer:
My sister has it too. I think the Doctor gave her some exercises to do. I would talk to him about back exercises. Talk to him too about general body building.
Do your own research on the Internet to get some ideas about exercises.
Along with special exercises that your Doctor might recommend I can't see how building up your body could hurt.
Maybe your doctor will order some physical therapy to strengthen the muscles in your back to support your spine.
Maybe it'll go away when you grow a little bit more.
Chances are it won't go away.
It can't go away by itself.
Many people have mild scoliosis with no health problems. See another doctor if it bothers you. Maybe another opinion will help
You'll have to talk to your doctor again and see if he'll give you a back brace. My friend who has scoliosis has to wear one, she doesn't like it very much, but its not all that noticable.
It is hard. I had scoliosis but mine was so much worse than yours because we didn't get it checked till I moved where it progressed to 50 degree curve and I had to get surgery. Once you've reached 21 degrees you get this brace that prevents the curve on progressing. It is a good think they caught it this early unlike mine I now have a scar running down my back making it hard to wear certain clothes. But other than that I am satisfied. I don't have that bump anymore. =]
and apparently it is more in common with adolescent teen girls. sucks for us.
