Scheuermann's Disease

Hello Tanya and welcome to HW. Not sure we have anyone currently but if you use the search feature at the top of the page you can find all the past posts and what was offered by way of advice.

Regardless we are glad you joined.

Hi Tanyajo & welcome to the chronic pain form. So glad you found us but sorry you have to be here.

As Vickie indicated we have had a few people come through the forum suffering with your disease. I think because we did not have other members onboard with Scheuermanns they opted to try & find another forum with people suffering with same & I completely understand how they felt. But do use the search feature here & read those posts. One thing we do understand & that is pain no matter what the cause of it.

Take care.

Thanks for all the reply's, i had been going to the doctors since the age of 12 had xrays but was told that there was nothing wrong.

Once i started working and was pregnant with my second child i was in so much pain i just kept going to my GP untill someone would listen, i had to wait till my daughter was born before they could do MRI but once i had it i was told i have scoliosis and Shermanns disease but there wasnt anything they could do other than give me pain meds.

Since then they thought i had hip displasia so i was referred to london hospital where i was told i have retroversion.

I had my first PAO surgery Feb this year and will take about a year to fully recover, and then my left side will need doing :(

Im rather frustrated that they cant do anything about the shape of my back thy say because im no longer growing a brace wont help.

Hi, I made some paragraphs in your post to make it easier to read. Some of our members have tracking problems when reading. Thanks

Hi Tanya
Just wanted to welcome you
&, if you are suppose to keep moving, I agree w/ straydog's recommendation of water therapy..
even just walking will be helpful

Pls let us know how you are doing

Wishing you the best

IMO you have not yet found a physical therapist who is educated & experience enough to help you.

Took me awhile to test drive the half dozen or so but I got a great one who worked with me for years.

Even if you only go & walk in the water, maybe some gentle GENTLE stretches, if that is allowed w/your medical issues, would be good.

Good luck!

I have been given loads of different pain meds, codine 30mg, tramadol naproxin they take the edge off the pain but it doesnt get rid completly plus they all make me feel sick and tierd. im so used to being in pain its just normal to me, when i see the gp they say shermanns is not painfull but they are totally wrong!
