Scoliosis... No Cure?!

When I was in seventh grade I learned that I had scoliosis. They were giving health examinations in school that day, and I was told that my mother needed to take me to the doctor to get it checked out. I always have back pains, especially since now that I am in high school; I have to carry home heavy textbooks each day, which I think they ought to give me a book to keep at home or at least try to because I have a prosthesis to add on to the problem of body pains.

Every time I complain to my mom that my back is sore and that she should REALLY take me to the doctor she never does. She always tells me that there is nothing the doctors can do to fix my back which I know for a fact is not true. What should I do?!

hi, i have scoliosis too. mine iz moderate so around 33-35 degrees. although i should, i don't have any pain because i am physically active. i have done sports like volleyball, track, and karate and it doesn't cause me any pain. so if your mom won't take you to the doctor, try stretching out your back everyday so that it doesn't cause you any pain!! or exercise and get involved in sports, it might work 4 u like it did 4 me. best of luck to you

It's not true. My best friend had scoliosis and was operated for it and also she had exercises to do to fix her back. Today she is 25 and her scoliosis is gone since the age of 18.
