Mild Thoracic Dextroscoliosis

Hi! I am 24 years old i have a mild thoracic dextroscoliosis less than 20 degrees. the doctor said that i just need excercise and proper posture but the thing is i am currently applying for abroad. I am a nurse for 3 years in med-surg unit the problem is i cannot find a work due to this impression in my x-ray. Could any one help me if i still need a clearance from an orthopedic doctor or what should i do to prove that i am physically fit.

Hi there!

Well, a mild dextroscoliosis should not render you physically unfit for working with med-surg; however to be on the safer side, it would be better to get a medical certificate from your orthopedician stating the nature of the deformity with possible associations, if any and that it would not hamper your ability to perform the kind of work.
Hope this was useful.

Take care!
