A member asked:
What exactly does it mean to have osteoarthritis and scoliosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis refers to the normal wear and tear in joints that occurs basically in everyone as they age. Scoliosis refers to a curvature of the spine. Both conditions can vary widely in severity, and if mild they really don't mean anything bad or life changing. Talk to your doctor about the severity of the findings.
