Your diagnosis, or?: Radiologist? Important to differentiate as you're still young. Get a 2nd opinion from a do, osteopathic physician, who can do a full musculoskeletal examination of your scoliosis, and see what grade you are since grades 1-2 (mayb early 3) are treatable, and may relieve your pain. Postural mechanics also contribute to pain. Kirksville osteopathic med. Sch. Is in your state, and has clinic.Go there!
