My sister, 61 years old, has scoliosis and severe osteoarthritis in her lower back. She endures debilitating pain.
Since she is an alcoholic, she is not a candidate for traditional pain killers or opioids.
1. Would Baclofen be a possible treatment for managing her pain?
2. Is it possible that Baclofen might have a secondary, off-label, benefit of being a possible treatment for the alcoholism?
Yeah, same here. I have minor scoliosis as well. That was part of the reason I had a lot of back pain, also. Not saying it's going to be the case for you, but when I went into labor they actually had to do my epidural TWICE because of the minor scoliosis. UGH, wasn't terrible, but still. Anyway, if your midwife isn't concerned, I guess it's just one more thing to add to the list of "Things to deal with during pregnancy".
You'll be alright...

I have scoliosis and ive heard alot of woman who have it get something called "Back Labor" Ive had a few episodes where im standing and for some reason i get this achy feeling in my back, then it goes to searing pain and i collaps into fetal position cause its the only way to not make my back hurt.

Last week, I began experiencing symptoms again of the rib pain, sternum/chest pain, and middle-upper back pain, as well as an achey sensation in my shoulders. The doctor ran a bunch of tests, including a 3 day holter to monitor my heart which was fine. My blood work was pristine (his words not mine), with exception to urate levels which were, quite frankly, through the roof. I don't eat much red meat and I don't drink alcohol, but I do take a diuretic for blood pressure.
My daughter on a recent sports physical, it was noted that when she bent over, there was a soft bulge to the right side of her mid back, it was soft, no history of injury, causing pain, but when bent over from the back the right side of her back was swollen, to the right of the spine, The doctor states it appears to be a muscle spasm, this is not causing pain, but just wondering what we need to do and if this is indications of a muscle spasm, How long should the swelling be present, and what s
I had horrible lower back pain and hip pain very early on. I occasionally get back pain now (21 weeks) depending on if I over due myself at work or around the house (I also have scoliosis) maybe pregnancy massage (something I'm gong to treat myself too soon) and swimming I hear helps.. how far along are you?
Finally after working 2 months with this the pain was to much, and was occompanied with partial numbness to the back of the right leg, *** to foot. The MRI came back: Mild dextroscoliosis of the lumbar spine is seen without acute fractures, Dislocations, lytic or blastic defections or congenital anomalies. The intervertebral disc spaces appear to be adequately maintained. There were no perivertebal soft tissue masses, calcifications or bone adnormalities. Mild facet hypertrophic changes.
Hi it's Lyssie and I would like any advice you could give me!
Basically to cut a very long story short I had spinal surgery for scoliosis when I was 17 I was fused from T11 to L3 with a rod and 5 screws... I developed last year osteoarthritis and 2 bulging discs all between L4/5/S1 so had facet joint injections and nerve root blocks. The leg pain went away and I've only had it a little since then on the odd occasion. I have been taking tramadol and have recently come off it..
When I get up from a chair, my stationary bike, the car, you would think you were looking at an elderly person. I can barely move from the pain--stabbing pain in both feet, pain in most joints (though my knees are ok) in my legs, and now, severe pain in my left hip. It eventually goes away as long as I keep moving. I don't smoke or anything like that. I've mentioned this to my GP and she just says this can be typical for my age.
I now have Scoliosis and was told just a few months ago in 2010. I am suffering from a crazy back pain and am living off of pain killers. I can't sit for too long and when I stand its the samething.
I haven't been told anything about any surgery yet but will be consulting my doctor regarding this. I have been reading up on other forums and it seems like Crohns may indeed have something to do with having Scoliosis.
Sciatica is a set of symptoms including pain that may be caused by general compression and/or irritation of one of five nerve roots that give rise to the sciatic nerve, or by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve itself. The pain is felt in the lower back, buttock, and/or various parts of the leg and foot. In addition to pain, which is sometimes severe, there may be numbness, muscular weakness, and difficulty in moving or controlling the leg.
I have lumbar scoliosis. I went to Chiros for years, until our health insurance dropped them from available treatments. Now, with what I've learned about exercise and my back, I plan to go back to a chiro, out of my pocket. It's a good investment.
I have no idea if you exercise or not, so please forgive me if you already do - BUT: Your Chiro should be giving you some sort of Physical Therapy type exercises to do sooner or later?? Chiro treatment for me involved much activity also.
ve been suffering from mild-to-moderate back pain over the last few weeks. It feels (from what I remember) like the scoliosis pain. Because I never discussed the effects of the surgery on my spine with the surgeon, I have no idea if it could be the scoliosis returning for unrelated reasons, or the Chiari acting up again and messing up my spine. Is any of that possible? Should I go straight to a neurologist/traumatologist about it or see a gp first and consider other options?
