Hello,

I have studied your case.

You can confirm obstruction/impingement by doing MRI and CT scan.
Due to scoliosis there can be impingement of rib on liver.

If you are having respiratory difficulty or you need for cosmetic correction then you can go for scoliosis correction.
If there is any neurological involvement then you may need surgical correction.


For symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
