Do I Have Scolosis?
Posted: 03-04-06 13:41pm
You guys don't have a topic about scoliosis so I thought this is close enough.

My back curves in a little bit(enough for my fist to rest in) in my lower back.

It always hurts....When I sit to long stand to long lay in one position to long.

I was wondering if you guys thought that might be bad and if I should go to a doctor or if it migh just be my posture.

Thanks alot!!

Scoliosis is very far from multiple sclerosis. Scoliosis is defined as a curve of the vertebral spine to the left or right side. Discrete vertebral curvatures can be discovered only via X-ray image of the entire vertebral spine. Scoliosis could be the reason for your back pain. Nonetheless, you can visit an orthopedist to establish and diagnose scoliosis or identify possible bad posture.
