Scoliosis Worse Because of Injury? Posted: 11-17-04 18:03pm
I'm new here and hope to find some
opinions and experiences other people have
had. I recently hurt my back at work and
saw a chiropractor. She told me I had
scoliosis, which I could clearly see on
the xray. Her diagnosis of the injury
was that when I hit my pelvic bone in my
back, I also got a strained sprain from
it. The muscle pain is dull and spread
all over the place now, and the bone is
still sharp pain.
I was sent to another doctor by my
employer and she said all my pain was due
to the scoliosis. And did not recommend
any more treatment, etc.
After talking to the chiropractor more she
said that it's very possible the scoliosis
is worse now because of the injury. I
never knew I had scoliosis before I saw
here, and I definatley did not feel any
pain from it before the injury.
Has anyone else had a similar diagnosis?
That the scoliosis is worse now because of
an injury?
