I have constant neck pain and can't sleep. What does your scoliosis feel like?

I do not really get much pain from my scoliosis but I have had it since my teens and am now 66 years old. My "kink" is in the middle of my spine. Have you had an x-ray? That will show whether you have scoliosis or not.

Idk yet, I'm going in next week for an exam. But scoliosis doesn't cause pain??

Scoliosis may well cause pain but I can only speak about myself. I only sometimes get a dull low back ache which goes fairly quickly for me after bending quite a bit and it used to happen to me when dawdling ie window shopping..

You can call the SAUK helpline after your diagnosis if you wish.

Here is the link to their website which you may find helpful:

Do you get headaches? I have scoliosis and 'straight neck' which has been causing headaches. In terms of pain it depends on the degree of curve, where it is and how it affects posture i.e. pain can be deferred.
