hi i have thoraco-lumbar scoliosis and was only diagnosed 6 years ago it causes me chronic pain and iam affected by bad weather eg rain,snow etc.have been referred to pain management clinic waiting for appointment have also been referred to physiotherapy to use a t.e.n.s machine.

Hi I'm Brianna and I am 18. I found out I had scoliosis when I was 12 years old. They told me that if I did not have surgery, I would die before 16. My spine was pushing on my lungs, heart (pulminary system). I don't know if I was born with scoliosis, but my grandmother had a mild case and my 11 year old nephew was just diagnosed (though he hasn't seen a specialist yet). I had my surgery on January 6, 2001, at age 13. They inserted Hamilton rods, and after cause a long road of hospitalization and complications. I have chronic severe pain, and my doctors have told me the only thing to do is to take pain medications. I am currently searching for alternatives for pain management. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.
