Scoliosis Support Group
Scoliosis affects all ages. Unlike the naturally occurring curves in the spine, scoliosis causes the spine to curve abnormally to the left or right.
Hi,
My son who is 5 had his body cast removed yesterday 05 november 2007 for the first time in 4 years as apart from Scolosis he is also developing Lordosis. He doesn't like being out of his cast and wanted it back this morning.The hospiatal want to leave him out of the cast for 6 weeks to see how the lordosis progresses or hopefully that is pops back out. I doubt this will happen so they suggested that he may need growth rods fitted to his spine. I was just wondering if anyone is familair with these and how they are administered / or effective they are.
Thanks in advance,
SteveQ

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
