Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have been having back pain for the past 2 weeks, I am a 33 year old healthy female with a history of scolious.. (38 degree curve in the spine) despite this curve I have never really hard back pain, sometimes i will experience tingling in legs or arms if i over work but nothing major. However I have discovered what feels like enlarged nodes in both sides of the lower spine.. it is on either side movable and feels like a node along with swollan tissue? I have not done anything physical that would of caused back pain. Should I be concerned?

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist, Niraj Modi's Response
here when you have back pain along with scoliosis i suggest to visit your doctor and take required test like X ray or mri scan then based on report the doctor will suggest you either the surgical or medical with physiotherapy conservative management. here since you are complaining pain radiating to your legs it must be related with compression of nerve so I suggest to take a orthopedic doctor view on this. depending on the type of scoliosis there is a specialised exercise program so i suggest to visit a physiotherapist and take a proper exercise program for strengthening, stamina as well as if possible the correction of spinal Curve. I also suggest to use hot pack or cold pack on your pain full area at your back to have some more relaxing and healing effect on your soft tissues. Take care
