Scoliosis can cause rib prominence on one side and leg length discrepancy, which often results in gait dysfunction. Pain, difficulty sitting or standing, stiffness, and spinal rigidity are often associated with scoliosis. Rarely does adult scoliosis adversely affect cardiopulmonary (heart and lung) function or cause neurologic complaints. However, a complete medical and orthopaedic evaluation by a physician with experienced in adult scoliosis is essential.
I had a free evaluation from a chiropractor tonight at an athletic store and learned that my neck and back are out of wack and I have scoliosis. I got a free back massage and it hurt because I was so out of alignment. Or I’m just super sensitive. Bad news. I was so sad about having scoliosis that I didn’t finish my free wine. I have an appointment for an eval and adjustment in two weeks, so I’ll have to be lopsided until then. How embarrassing.
At work today I started working on candidate profiles about those running for the board of commissioners and the school board. I’m so scared about misrepresenting someone that I repeated statements/ideas back to them during the interviews. I think I’m going to drive myself crazy. This is my journalism degree paying off. That and an internship with Meet the Press where facts are double-checked and triple-checked.
I can’t believe tomorrow is Friday.
