Hi, I have scoliosis and had active TB in 1992, though very very very mild, a single spot in the lung, though some of my docs suspect it did migrate to at least my adrenals. Anyway, my scoliosis causes lung problems because when I lay on my side, which is confortable for us with crooked backs, my saliva drips down the back of my throat and into my lungs due to the abnormal curve in the back. I actually got pneumonia from this.
I kind of really think that my scoliosis and TB were related as I never had scoliosis until a few years after my active TB.
Do you have TB or just scoliosis? My docs say if I had TB, even inthe kyphosis part of my scoliosis, they would definitely see it. I don't know about that, I have to go on faith. I hope you are feeling well.
