Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I asked her. It's 60-80 varying depending on stance, sleep pattern etc. She had lots of x-rays and interviewed one doctor yesterday. They seemed amazed that she was moving around as well as she is. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Scoli xrays taken in the morning show more relaxed curves. Those taken later in the day are sharper curves. The A.M. xrays are the accurate ones. lj From: Casey <casey9195@...> Subject: RE: Re: new to group -- questions about pain med., drs, ... Date: Tuesday, December 16, 2008, 6:30 PM I asked her.
