Hi, I thought I'd pick your brains, if you don't mind. I have thoracic scoliosis, which was found on multiple radiology studies in the past, but I've never really had any symptoms from it. For the past few weeks I've had a small (quarter or half-dollar size, maybe) area in my right thoracic area that has just been giving me a fit. It burns all the time with the severe, deep, aching pain and tingling being intermittent It is progressively getting worse. Sometimes the pain is very severe, but it can be 50% or so relieved for a few minutes by someone putting firm, steady pressure on this area. This area that hurts is tender to touch. I have no problems with that arm or hand. It's just a small, localized spot just lateral to the spine on the right. I have increased my sitting and leaning forward the past 3 weeks since college started back... studying, reading, and working on my computer. I try to use good posture, but I know it's still an unnatural position. I have made an appointment with a chiropractor for the first time in my life. Has anyone reading had these symptoms with scoliosis or any other diagnosis? Just wondering. I can't wait to see the chiropractor, and I sure hope he can give me some idea of what it is and get me on the road to getting rid of it. I have also been told on the same radiology studies that I have mild spondylosis in the area. I am pretty young (in my 30s), and have never had any major back symptoms except after a car wreck last year, which resolved in a few weeks and with physical therapy.
