I have scoliosis about 35 degrees of it ranging from neck in one angle to 30 degrees of tail bone obviously in the other direction, and now affecting pelvis and legs. I am 31 with 2 small children and a husband. In the mornings my family is ready to get up and go, but I can't. I get stuck in one position and I hurt. I cannot move adequately for atleast an hour. I am completely distraught about this and I need to find a way to get up and go. During the day it hurts but tolerable, and at night gets over whelming. I have a hard time sleeping and eating.
I have tried PT, acupuncture, chiropractors and lortab along with mild muscle relaxers. The medications helped but the pain is still there. What is there to relieve this pain? I have tried alot of things, such as yoga, but it is more than a mind set to relieve pain. Posted on 07/27/09, 03:07 pm |
