[QUOTE="donna723, post: 300692, member: 1883"] The scoliosis may not have had anything to do with the other problems when he was younger. They told my daughter the same thing and she was fit to be tied! This is a girl who practically lived in the doctors offices for one thing or another when she was a kid. She never had very good posture but she was tall and skinny and that just sort of went with it. She's a nurse and [I]not one[/I] of these doctors she saw when she was younger ever told her that she had scoliosis until she hurt her shoulder working in the ER and was sent to an orthopedic specialist! By this time she was in her early 20's. She was just furious! This doctor told her that, had it been caught when she was younger, it could have been treated, but at her age, not much he could do now. It came back to haunt her when she had her baby a few months ago. When they went to give her the epidural, they had to stick that big needle in her back THREE TIMES before they finally hit the right spot ... because of the scoliosis! I'm so sorry that Cory has to contend with this and I hope the ortho doctor can help him. You would think that after having all those other problems treated when he was younger, they would have noticed it sooner! [/QUOTE]
