Scoliosis and Chronic back pain

Posted by detzler @detzler, Jul 11, 2016

I am a 59 year old female. I have scoliosis which is causing a great deal of pain. I don't want to go on narcotics if I don't have to. What do others do with this problem?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

The cause of scoliosis

Hi everyone,
I'm curious what the real cause of idiopathic scoliosis is. I found and intriguing series of 5 posts from a nurse who thinks that glutenintolerance (triggering an auto immune reaction against the bones) is one of the root causes.
Later in life, I found out that I do have gluten sensitivity (not coeliaki): http://celiacnurse.com/part-1-of-5-part-series-is-there-an-association-between-scoliosis-and-a-gluten-intolerance/. And I do have an other auto immune disease (Hashimoto's) that also has a connection with gluten sensitivity.

A medium (paranormal health worker) in Holland told me she found that a virus was the cause and that you can extinguish it with the vibrations of one of the elements, in the case of scoliosis the element erbium (frequency therapy).

Orthopedic doctors still have no clue what causes ídiopathic scolios ('idiopathic' litteraly means: we have no clue how it arises).

Do you have any other theories about how scoliosis arises? or any thoughts on the above?

Greets, Mieke

I attribute my scoliosis to sleeping in a twin-sized bed as a young adult. I am 6'-4" tall and my family had no other bed for me. I could be wrong, but I don't worry out it now.

All I know is what the doc at Mayo told me. It has been a long time now, but they probably have the records. My scoliosis is relatively mild, so it doesn't bother me.

I believe that your scoliosis was from birth but as you got older it became more apparent and problematic

I may be in the same boat. My mother suffered from tuberculosis in her bones when you was pregnant with me and my sister. I'm 61 and have scoliosis and arthritis in my spine. My sister who is a couple years younger than me, has already had one hip and both knees replaced. Neither of us were aware of our bone problems until after menopause.

I exercise everyday. With stretches and loosening up. The worse thing you can do is nothing. I am sure there are medical devises that you can use to take off some of the stress that you are going through. Ask a PT or even a sports doctor

I've tried nerve block injections, epidurals. None gave relief. Currently doing pool walking and have joined a stretching class. My pain is caused when I sit and walk. I can only sit for about 15 minutes. So I'm standing most of the time. Best thing I've found is too keep muscles moving. You don't want to tighten up anymore than you are.
