Mild scoliosis but it doesn't feel mild.

Bones, joints and muscles

I just got the word from my doctor I have mild scoliosis. I have constant neck pain and it feels like the bones in my spine are rubbing together. I have drove a truck for years ever since I was 21 and I am now 42 years old. I was lifting weights before my doctor said I had scoliosis and he told me to stop weight lifting and now I seem to be in more pain than before. I am supposed to start physical therapy soon. My question is do you think it could be from driving a truck for years? Because I think workmanship comp should pay for my treatments because I have worked the same job since I was 21. I also am wondering if treatment works? I hope Therapy works. I didn't have scoliosis as a kid because I was checked for it back then.

Hi,

I would recommend a second opionion to rule out other problems. I'm not a lawyer, but since scoliosis is a congenital disease, it might make a worker's comp claim tricky.

Whatever your issue, I personally recommend Bikram Yoga for back pain. Bikram is a gentle yoga practiced in a hot humid room, and it took me from being crippled with pain to now being completely able-bodied. As you've already seen, the back likes excercise, and stronger back muscles = less pain.
