A member asked:
Middle & upper back/spine pain x4-5 mos. worse when laying down, better when standing up & walking around. x-rays just show scoliosis. causes of pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscles: Scoliosis comes in varying sizes of the curve. The bone curve itself doesn't cause the pain - but the muscles around the bones do. If the curve is mild consider getting a consult from a Physical Therapist. Also, if you happen to be large breasted the weight from a poorly fitted bra can lead to chronic upper back/neck pain. Talk with your MD about getting some help with muscle therapy.
