Bone health and scoliosis
I’m interested in how to manage the pain from scoliosis and how it affects other joints in the body. I cannot control the pain. I have been taking Tylenol with a boost from Aleve once in a while. It’s becoming more and more intolerable with no relief I’m told. The pain is in my lower back, hip, and knee(left side knee and hip). The pain is starting to radiate into the left groin area as well. I can only walk very short distances with rest in between I walk everyday trying not to give into it. I’m afraid I’ll end up in a wheelchair

Hi - what is DPT and OHSU? 😊 do you know if they accept Medicare/UHC?
Thank you
DPT is Doctor of Physical Therapy. OHSU accepts Medicare but of course, you'd have to check your specific plan.
Have you tried a lift?
My scoliosis made my left leg 3/4+ inches shorter. After an orthopedic lift I was able to walk without pain.
