We took our 11-year-old daughter to a special spine clinic to have her scoliosis evaluated. They gave her a special questionnaire called an SRS. What is this and what does it measure? Does everyone take this test or only certain ones with scoliosis? 5 weeks 5 days ago 45
Our 13-year-old daughter has scoliosis they call "idiopathic" because we don't know what caused it. She never complains of pain but she is very self-conscious about her appearance. Is this ever a reason to have surgery to straighten her spine if there isn't any pain? 5 weeks 5 days ago 43
I live in California and teach in a local high school. My partner teaches in a private school. Sometimes we compare notes about equalities and inequalities we think we see. One of those is health care. I never see anyone in my classes wearing a brace for scoliosis and certainly never having surgery for this problem. My partner reports this is much more likely in the private sector. The reason I ask is because my daughter has scoliosis, too so this problem has caught my eye. What do you know about this kind of difference in treatment? 5 weeks 5 days ago 44
Do you think it's true that people of color are more likely to die from spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis compared with whites? I know this sounds like a weird question but our adopted child (who happens to be Hispanic) is scheduled for this kind of surgery. We are looking for any information we can find on the Internet about this surgery and found this stuff about deaths. Now I'm having second thoughts. 5 weeks 5 days ago 45
Our daughter had surgery at age 18 months to correct a clubfoot that didn't get better with casting. She's now 11-years-old and wants to try out for the local girls' soccer team. Should we try to discourage her and shield her from possible failure? Or let her try out and see what happens? I'm just not sure the leg is strong enough or that the surgery will hold up. 7 weeks 5 days ago 91
