Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Olivia was diagnosed w/ progressive idiopathic infantile scoliosis at 5 months of age. The docs would like to label Olivia as idiopathic, but I know (and more than a few euro docs agree) that Olivias scoli is NOT idiopathic...Hers was caused by her MISDIAGNOSED subluxed left hip from birth to 5 months. I think idiopathic is an over used label, so no one has to determine the root cause of your diagnosis. Too much work, and someone may be held accountable for not noticing/treating what could of prevented your childs diagnosis. just my opinion, HRH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 - I am wondering if we haven't had similar situation with Madison. She was diagnosed with hip displaysia at birth and wore a Pavelik Harness for the first 13 weeks of her life. I am curious if this is what caused the scoli, but I guess there really isn't a way to know for sure? Jen > Olivia was diagnosed w/ progressive idiopathic infantile scoliosis at 5 > months of age.
