A member asked:

Thoracolumbar xray shows 3 degree levoscoliosis in mid thoracic region with 4 degree levoscoliosis in the lumbar. is two levoscoliotic curves normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No but: This is likely due to an intervening dextroscoliosis (opposite curve). Doctors will measure it differently, so it is best reviewed by a specialist. Scoliosis is not normal but is mild in you so should not limit your activity. Without seeing the exact nature of the scoliosis on the x-ray, I cannot comment further.

What do these results mean? "Stable radiographic appearance of the thoracolumbar spine with a stable mild levoconvex lumbar scoliosis. Stable mild lower thoracic degenerative disc disease." I have lower right rib pain that wraps around. Thank you?
