Question 1

scoliosis.dextroconvex 5degree & levoconvex 7degree.my gp didnt gave any treatment.should i check every 6months on xray if curves get worse?i'm 24 now

Accepted Answer

Scoliosis: When it comes to scoliosis, a Cobb angle of under 10 is very mild. During your peak growth velocity years after your period started, the curvatures in your spine did not progress to levels that will need surgery. Now that you are fully grown and your growth plates are fused, it should not progress much further. Visit a spine specialist if you need reassurance. Good luck.

Question 2

i have multlevel lumbar spondylosis with superimposed levoconvex scoliosis .moderate neural foraminal stenosis on the left at l4/5 - have 33% lumbar and 39% thoracic curve. talking surgery. what does the above mean?

Accepted Answer

MRI findings : For many years there has been wear of the bones in the low back and now arthritis. There are low back nerves that come out around those low backbone that don't have space, the holes through which they pass are smaller than they should be.  There is an abnormal side curve to the mid and low back which is markedly large.  To understand how these findings relate to you requires a physical examination

Question 3

how can i curve my appetite ?

Accepted Answer

Med , diet: You  can see dotor for appetite suppressant for  short term only.However you need to eat good diet program or  plan with low carb, high protein diet.Also when you eat, small meals, do not at too fast, do not go second round.

Question 4

a 7 degree curve in your back, is this okay?

Accepted Answer

Scoliosis basics: Probably for your age, the answer is yes, unless you have painful and nerve symptoms related to your spine.  My reply is assuming a 7 degree curve is viewed front to back (or back to front), or what it called AP/PA, or in the coronal plane.  The real question is how did you come to measure this?   Most "scoliotic" curves in the spine slow in progression after puberty/growth spurts, but not all.

Question 5

what exactly do u mean by growth curves ( give me some examples )?

Accepted Answer

Tracks annual growth: Doctors track each child's growth in height and weight, by putting a dot on a growth chart each time the child has an annual check-up (more often if under 2 years old). Charts compare the child's growth to the average growth of children in the country. If a teen has no height growth for 2 check-ups, he is likely finished growing tall. One can look at the charts at: http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/

Question 6

is a cobb angle of 27 degrees a mild or the start of a moderate curve?

Accepted Answer

I Prefer Cobb Salad: Quote: "Identifying Cobb angle is important since it is often the first objective indicator of a scoliosis. A curve is considered to be scoliosis at a Cobb angle of 10º or more. Any increase greater than 5º or 10º is considered a change – the number varies among studies. Scoliosis is considered mild at 10º-24º, moderate at 25º-50º and severe at &gt;50º."

Question 7

my back has a curve, how can i fix this?
i used to slouch a lot (i recently found out that i do).
is that related to this?

Accepted Answer

Orthopedic: The slouching might have been caused by the  abnormal curvature. This can be corrected depending on the severity by braces or surgery. Schedule an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon

Question 8

should i use major curves butt enhancement pills to grow the size of my butt? is it effective? i've seen 1600 reviews listed stating that it works.

Accepted Answer

Does not work!: When checking those kind of claims, do a google search with the name of the product or ingredient and the phrase, in quotes, "clinical studies".  IF a site ends in .edu, org. or .gov then those studies will have decided from good research whether there is benefit or harm or no effect. If a site ends in .com that is commercial, and biased.  They may say "studies show" but you need to read the study

Question 9

what is the difference between area under the curve (auc) and the dose response curve when gauging how effective different doses of the same medication are? if looking for relative differences in symptom improvement at 2mg vs 3mg, which graph to use?

Accepted Answer

: Meds should be taken as prescribed by your doc who will take the symptoms, your BMI, other meds, symptoms etc in consideration and not by AUC or DRP- you dont have to use such esoteric graphs. Good luck

Question 10

i have a fairly large curve in my spine?

Accepted Answer

Common: but needs further evaluation. Scoliosis is common but large curves may need surgical repair is they exceed certain limits. Ask your Primary care to evaluate and refer  to a spine specialist if indicated. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
