Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have had scoliosis since I was 15 years of age. Now, I am 36 years old. I am a very active person. The pain medicines are not helping me now and I have started to limp and lean. Can it be corrected through surgery?
Please guide.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is important to do an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of your spine to know where the nerves are getting pinched. Please consult a neurologist for physical evaluation after doing an MRI scan and they will be able to guide you with your pain. Surgery is not required in every patient and you might choose to take medicines and avoid heavy physical work.
I hope that you get your answer.
Please let me know if you need any help.
Thank you.
