anyone wit scoliosis

Realise this is off topic but wonder whether anyone else diagnosed with fibro suffers with horrendous chronic left sided head, neck, shoulder and back pain. Ten years ago paid to see a rheumatologist and told i had cervical spondylosis, degenerative spine, t twisted at top and bottom and i think a couple of other things relating to discs. Saw a chiro for 12 months with no success. Prior to this had had physio for back pain on and off for over 20 years. Finally told I had fibro. Also had three falls last year, banging my head, didn't go to hospital, probably should have, which obviously didn't help, but cannot get past fibro diagnosis with doc. Think my left shoulder blade protrudes further than right and sure left shoulder seems to be bulging slightly, but the pain is awful and |I can barely move my head to the left. If anyone can relate or has any similar problems I would be grateful for any help or advice.

I remember your name cropping up on the thread I started about my dental woes and their recent resolution. Left sided head neck and shoulder pains were key features of my problem and I wonder if dentistry might hold some of the answers for you? It has to be worth making an appointment just to get it checked out, it's so easy to do after all.

Hi, this sounds so like me, do you think your joints are hypermobile? have a look at The Ehlers -Danlos Support UK. After 10 years I’ve finally got a diagnosis. Find a dr that understands, charities can be a great info base. Good luck

Or both , still do physio though ,if you can , you can't just sort neck issue, without doing back also , posture and mindfulness ,!!!!!!, swearword in my house !lol treat all
