Suggest Remedies For Recurring Pain Due To Costochondritis And Scoliosis With Curved Spine
My 14-year-old daughter was diagnosed with costochondritis. She also has scoliosis with a 34 degree curve of her spine. She is double-jointed and can hyper-extend all of her joints. She has weak knee joints that sometimes pop out of joint. We have been to a geneticist and had tests done, but there was no genetic cause found. She is often in pain. What can I do to help her?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be congenital kind of anomaly it is due to the genetic mutation, condition can be managed as long as the pain and other cardio pulmonary symptoms are concern in some cases surgical intervention could be the option but for that you will have to see the orthopedic surgeon and neurosurgeon, till the for pain just NSAID can be tried like Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day, hope this information helps.
