Is it normal to have scoliosis?

"Maybe we can talk"

....Chirp....Chirp...Chirp.......

I am 25 and have scoliosis. my doctor says it's getting worse but have no money to fix it. it's so painful to stand for long periods or sit, or walk, or anything really! i'm Constantly moving to try to relieve pain. I have a10 month old baby and I have to chase him everywhere. labor was horrible! the epidural guy had a really rough time getting it in. I own an inversion table (flips you upside down to sraighten your back) and also a t.e.n.s unit which helps with muscle ache, and I alternate from ice and heat. hopes this helps! good luck

I have it, but I have no idea if it's still considered "mild" and nor do I no my degrees. Some days it's so painful. If I go to the mall, the pain will sharply shoot up my spine to the rest of my back:/ they say everyone has a natural curve in their spines, but ours just curves out of control. It's an "abnormality" in the spine so, I guess it's not normal.

I had a spinal fusion for mine last summer. 40 degree curves = yuck

I would like to add that I had surgery for my scoliosis 4 years ago. How about you guys???

yep, I've got it, don't let it get in the way of your life, you'll be fine.

Its just disease, having a disease is normal

I have it

it's normal. I have it and know a ton of others that do, we can't be perfectly even.
