I have scoliosis so i'm in a lot of pain i have tried massage therapy, exercise and heating pads it doesn't help. i've tried over the counter meds nothing helps. what would you suggest?

Be seen: I would recommend that you consider being seen for a more specific cause of your pain. Scoliosis can lead to conditions that subsequently can cause pain, but scoliosis itself does not have to be associated with pain. A detailed exam, appropriate studies, can likely identify the cause of your pain and treatment options available.
