Left chest pain!!
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi I have Thoracolumbar scoliosis Dextro on the upper and Levo for my lower so it was like an S shape. I was diagnosed when I was 15 and after that I never had a follow check up about it because I didnt take it very serious and now I am suffering from it. The pain, the worry, the anxiety, and the depression. I always feel pained in the left side of my body, my breast I dont know if its muscle pain or my heart but I asked my doctor about it he said that my scoliosis is not that severe to put my heart in danger. Sometimes I feel that my left side is feeling numb and on my breast I feel pain I dont know if its just the muscle. Can somebody help me? Thank you!

I have lower scoliosis in my back. It's not nice I share your pain.
First of all take yourself back to the doctors, and demand you want therapy st the muscle skeletal dept at your local health centre, or hospital. There should be a service like that in your area, I would have thought. You also need to do mind therapy, getting intouch with your inner self.
Learning to be kind to your self. Also see if you can do Pilates. Get it sorted, don't dut on this okay.
All the best liz😀👍

I too have the same condition as you, as well as kyphosis which is more severe. I was diagnosed when I was 20 and offered no further advice or treatment. I didn't think too much about it at the time either, but now over 10 years on I am suffering more and more as each year passes. I have always had pain on my left side, including throbbing, numbness, weakness and pins & needles. I think the majority of the pain is muscular and nerve related. My left ribs always hurt and feel tender/sore constantly which is probably a result of a twisted ribcage.
Unfortunately you can only live with the condition and do your best to manage the pain and problems. I have found that regular pilates and non-regular chiropractor treatments help me the most. Also as elizabeth142 has said you need to calm your mind too as I suffer from anxiety and slight depression also. I suggest you try mindfulness meditation.
I did see a musculoskeletal doctor too and that was a waste of time for me. However some physio's are good. My pilates teacher is also a trained physiotherapist so I lucky there.

I thought it is my heart that has a problem. I always have anxiety attacks or depression when I feel the pain. I hope I can manage it and I will try to look for a good physio's here in the philippines as it really leads me to depression. Thank you so much for sharing your experience to me.
