Hi everyone,

I couldn't find a topic for scheuermann's disease and thought I would start one to discuss this with other sufferers, perhaps share advice, etc.

I was diagnosed with SD in 2005 when I was 16 (I'm now almost 25). My father also suffers from SD. My pain is not consistent but tends to occure daily in differing degrees.

I've found regular exercise can help ease off the pain, especially the times when it's so bad I can't move and end up laying on the wooden floor to relieve it.

What methods do you use to relieve pain/manage your condition?

What exactly is this condition?

http://physioworks.com.au/injuries-conditions-1/scheuermanns-disease is the best way for me to explain it.

I was diagnosed with this condition yesterday! I have 100% curvature in my thoracic column and god does it hurt. I'm going to have to get surgery, what methods do you guys find to help pain. I am nervous about talking to my doctor about narcotics in fear of being labeled as a drug seeker. :(

Hi Jeeves,

I would speak to your doctor or a specialist about pain relief that is stronger than over the counter, they'll know about your condition and shouldn't consider it you attempting to get drugs.

As for home remedies I find a hot pack/hot water bottle helps or laying on a hard surface can sometimes help.
