Levoscoliosis
by lickshot12, Aug 20, 2009 06:37PM
I recently had an incident on the job which involved me carrying 2 cases of h2o, a fall and back pain x 5 days. I am 49 y/o, 5' 91/2" and weigh 233 lbs, has a personal trainer and was in the process of losing weight via strenth training. Lost 30 lbs. The back pain is an 6-7 on the pain scale. An xray revealed Levoscoliosis @ the thoracolumbar junction. Everthing else is normal. I have never had any symptoms prior to having this fall. Is there such a thing as acute levoscliosis? I have had 4 children. Can this be reversed? Is this chronic? Please give me some advise to follow as I don't even have a h/o bone disease in my family. How can i protect myself from future problems with this dx?

Levoscoliosis is a scoliosis with the convexity of the spine to the left side.
There is no perfect cause for this.
Scoliosis often presents itself, or worsens, during the adolescence growth spurt. During adolescence, due to rapid growth of the body, hip and leg proportions in the leg and thigh may become misaligned, causing temporary acute scoliosis and Pain is often common in adulthood, especially if the scoliosis is left untreated. Other than this we do not see any relation for your fall and levoscoliosis.
The traditional medical management of scoliosis is complex and is determined by the severity of the curvature, skeletal maturity, which together help predict the likelihood of progression.
The conventional options are, in order: Observation, Bracing and Surgery.
We advise you to take the exercises and weight loss episodes very seriously. Before that visit a dietician and plan a neat diet chart for yourself for weight loss.
Take care!
