Hey guys new to the forum.. 

after many many months of issues and multiple other symptoms for god knows whats disorders/diseases i was told i have scoliosis a couple of days ago

I get back, neck, chest and shoulder pains aswell as pains and sometimes numbness and loss of feeling in my arms and legs.. mainly on the left side. 

Easy muscle fatigue and generally fatigued easily.

I have straightening of the cervical lordosis

Mild cervicothoracic scoliosis convex to the left

Subtle mid thoracic scoliosis convex to the right at T7/8

Pelvic unlevelling high on the left approx 17mm and a similar distance at the femoral head high on the left also. 

Could this be the cause of the problems i am having? Thanks all

    Try chiropractic treatment, having your spine, neck and hips aligned can help with a lot of your pains and symptoms😊

      Its certainly causing your back pain.

      Scoliosis could be leading to radiculopathy. Do you ever get shooting/electric shock pains?

    Does anyone know if scoliosis is a symptom of AS? Or if it's not that, then what could it possibly be?

      I think scoliosis is more a genetic condition and can cause problems in the chest or rib area probably mimicking symptoms of AS but not sure if the 2 are linked😊
