Accepted Answer

Neuromuscular : scoliosis causes chest pain. SB is a neuromuscular condition that causes muscle weakness, spasticity or paralysis, making them unable to support the spine, resulting in scoliosis.  If not fused in adolescence, scoliosis can progress in adulthood. Premature  arthritis of SB includes the spine &amp; worsens with age. Spinal cord tethering can occur at any age. See your SB team for evaluation &amp; treatment

upper abd and chest pain in 24yo female with heart murmur, concave chest, and scoliosis. possible causes?

Accepted Answer

Many possible: Upper abdominal and chest pain can relate to many, many causes - even some emotional ones. But - what you say about the scoliosis and heart murmur suggest it might be connected to Marfan syndrome - especially if you fit the profile - tall, slim, long fingers & feet, eye problems. See a doctor and they'll help you figure out what to do. Best wishes!

Question 7

i had a sudden onset of chest pain in feb 2020. i had blood tests, xrays and gastronomy. result mild scoliosis. but i still have chest pain when pressed with your fingers and an intermittent sore larynx. gets worse when i talk more. cancer?

Accepted Answer

: The cause of your chest pain is unclear. I doubt that it is related to your sore/throat/?Larynx.
If the pain persists for more than 1-2 weeks, you should revisit your doctor to check you and help resolve the questions that you have raised. If it helps  you to know, I can tell you that Cancer of the Throat/Larynx rarely spreads to the bone. So the conditions you have mentioned are unrelated.

Accepted Answer

Yes, but not heart: Maybe musculoskeletal pain, but not heart pain.

Question 9

what is cause of chest pain in child?

Accepted Answer

Many: Chest pain most commonly is musculoskeletal in children (it comes from the muscles and bones of the chest).  It can also be caused by gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn), pleurisy (pain from the  lining of the lungs, usually from infection), or, less commonly, from the heart of large blood vessels.  If the pain involves fever, weakness, or difficulty breathing, medical help should be obtained.
