I am 52 years old and was diagnosed with thoracic dextroscoliosis at my age now when I received my diagnostic xray result from St. Lukes.  I work as a teacher in a university and currently on rehab. leave due to papillary carcinoma affecting my thyroid gland.  I am due for operation that's why I had this xray. I remain very positive despite of my situation because I always rely on the Lord for everything in life. Most of you are young and have a good life ahead of you.  The reason why I still standing and living in faith is because of my two daughters, still growing up and my grand kids. Please don't lose hope, put your faith in the hands of God.  I always pray and recite the Psalms 23 and 91.

hi, to those with scoliosis, it is best to consult a Orthopedian, then they'll refer you to a Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist. You will be given medication and therapy sessions which could help. My sister is currently undergoing therapy sessions and she feels relieved.

I have the same problem too. I recently have visited 'Pain and Rehab' clinic at the 5th Floor in Megamall and I became aware of what dextroscoliosis is. I was attended by a physical therapist who has given me 'electro' something and hot compress for about 20mins. to relieve my back pain. After such procedure the PT also taught me of the basic exercises and stretching. For me even you were diagnosed with a mild dextroscoliosis only it is really helpful to consult a professional PT. It's the first move we have to do for us to become aware of the do's and dont's. My doctor said nothing to worry about it especially when you're in the age when you stop growing but it is important too to apply a proper remedy for this kind of illness as this may affect our ribcage and the intact of our internal organs. I was diagnosed just last June 2012 and I immediately visited a physician to help myself regarding this illness and I believe seeing a doctor applies to all.
