Hello, I am new to this support group but not new to daily strengths groups. I am a mother of 2; my daughter is 14 and my son is 11. My 14 year old was diagnosed with scoliosis in April when I took her in to a chiropractor. Her back pain seemed to get worse and worse over the summer. I took her to see an Orthopedist and we did an MRI on her and the Dr. said that her bones look good and healthy as well as her disks. But for some reason when she stands for more than 15 minutes she has a numbness in her back that goes down her upper thigh. Her back will sometimes lock up, by that I mean she can't move her torso at all until it unlocks. She has had breathing attacks that she says starts in her back and goes around to the front and she gets a burning in her sternum. She is in a lot of pain when these attacks come. We returned to the orthopedist and he did a bone scan and we were told that everything looked good. So he referred us to another Orthopedist who looked at her MRI and bone scan and basically said the same thing as the first Orthopedist. I asked them what about the pain and numbness that she is experiencing? We were told that the pain she is experiencing is not caused from scoliosis and that they didn't know what was causing the pain and numbness. I felt like why am I here if you are not going to help my child! So I don't know what to do for her? Should I try to take her to a Neurologist? Is it normal to experience pain like she is experiencing? Is she just obsessing over it too much and being a bit dramatic about it? sometimes I think yes, but then other times I am like I know there is no way she would let pain stop her from enjoying this moment so she must be hurting. Any advice you guys could give me, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.
