Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 We have just gotten home from China with our newest daughter, Judy, and she has scoliosis. The pediatrician today indicated at least a 60 degree curvature with twisting and a few other situations. We are currently getting an appointment with Dr. Lenke at the Childrens Hospital in St. Louis but wonder if there are other suggestions within 5 or so hours driving of central Illinois. We have been referred to him thru several other Dr's them saying he is the best. Our daughter is 12, she is also double jointed at the elbows and shoulders, very flexable fingers, etc. We understand there can be some syndromes also that go hand in hand with these conditions. Any guidance that you have to offer me, even if to another support group would be so welcome. At this time we observe she is not indicating any pain, she keeps up with us all, we did ask for a PE variance until she sees a spinal Dr. At 12 she is 49 inches tall and weights 62 pounds. Any suggestions or questions are welcome. Ruthi Coats , mom to Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
