Dealing with Chronic Back Pain from Scoliosis

Yes but I don't take anything to help it. I just push through and deal.

yes started trying baclofen (muscle relaxer) and that’s been of some help but it can be so unbearable and supposedly not much to do … turmeric helps, green lipped mussel supplement can help with immune support and function and supposedly aqua therapy can help I was recommended to try it and hoping it will help

Since I started seeing a chiropractor my pain has reduced quite a bit. It takes a little bit of time but my spine has started to straighten out from the adjustments and exercises he's taught me

I typically use a heating pad. I dance a lot so stretching regularly certainly helps! I've noticed when I don't I feel super tight. My favorite stretch that's good for beginners is hanging low and trying to touch my toes, but also moving my lower back side to side

I use a heating pad with ibuprofen and tylenol alternating. When my back isn't hurting as bad I do some stretches but once it reaches a certain point it only makes it hurt worse. Avoiding things that you know will hurt helps to (don't be like me and get a job that requires stocking merchandise)

I do! Fast dissolving Tylenol!!!

PT, chiropractic care, lots of heat/ice treatments

yes!! i’ve been getting monthly massages, but when it was really bad i was going 2x a month. the pain is still there but the massages have definitely helped.

I just researched stretches for scoliosis and it has helped quite a bit. I've been considering going to a chiropractor as well but I'm not sure yet.

Working out consistently has helped but I also had nerve blocks done in my neck and lower back and that eliminated my pain

especially if there are any Schroth method specialists near you! if not you can look into videos online but that one’s proven to help. I think it’s a lot better than not trying to treat it and masking it with pain meds

because scoliosis is caused from your muscles tensing and over-contracting on one side of the spine, i would recommend PT where you get exercises to build muscle on the weak side of your spine more than anything. I did that when i was a teenager, but it was after i already had surgery. i wish i would’ve known about it sooner, and stuck to my exercise routine more regularly, it helped so much.

The only diagnosable reason for my back pain is mild scoliosis and kyphosis, PT helped a bit, the TENS unit is great, and otherwise I used medical marijuana for every day pain.

Yes! Right here!

PT, non-addictive muscle relaxers (Tizanidine is mine but it makes me sleepy), and a TENS unit or vibrating deep tissue back massager.

PT and gabapentin have helped my back pain a lot personally

Yes am going though horrible pain Kyphosis and neck problems. I'm having PT once a week. I work 12 hour days, sleep very little usually 2 to 3 hours.Says have pinched nerves also. If I could afford there's a sugergon in Spring Hill Florida Lazer sugery but I don't have the money and insurance won't pay for it.I am praying for all of us here who are struggling with pain and working.
