Diagnosed with Scoliosis which is causing numbness and pain
Patient: Hello, I am 25 and I was diagnosed with scoliosis 10 years ago. It mild and the pain has always been minimal. Lately though the pain seems to be more severe and my right hand seems to go numb and shakes as well. The curve leans towards my right though. Doctor: Hi I have read your details. Normally in Idiopathic scoliosis , since it develops over a period of time , you don't come across  neurological involvement either in legs or in arms. If you feel numbness in arms and pain then I suggest you get MRI of neck and back to be able to assess the cause of pain and numbness. You might also have to undergo nerve conduction studies. Take care. Dr Gopal Goel
