Patient: A doctor said I had scheuermann's diesase because I did an X-ray because I was having really bad back pain well I tried physical threapy and lost some weight and tons of pain pills...nothing helped. Now I'm getting wrist,arm,shoulder,leg,knee,ankle pains plus swollen ankles...what should I do Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Scheuermann's disease is mainly seen in young adults. I understand that you have  a progressive back deformity. You should take pain killers and some of which lead to fatigue. However, I also consider to rule out  spondylitis which also leads to kyphosis of thoracic spine along with other features. Consult your treating orthopedics surgeon for guidance and further treatment  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
