Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 Hi Gretchen, I think what you're talking about is called kyphoscoliosis ( kyphosis is backward protrusion of the spine and levoscoliosis is sideways tilt ). I think its fairly common in CMT and I have a little of that today. I wonder if anybody suffers from that to a degree that they have considered correction of this in adulthood and if that's recommended given the progressive nature of CMT.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Hello Gretchen, I have exactly the same problems. About 15 years ago (when I was 13!) a doctor told me that my vertebral column isn' t straight. Last year the doctors who operated me found out that it is straight but that one side is lower than the other side. The problem with this that I have a lot of pain where the vertebral column " meets " the hipbone. There is an ankle on both sides that causes pain. And you can nothing do about it because this always will make problems. Bye, Gretchen Glick schrieb: > Has anyone ever had vertebraae X rays? And what were the results?
