Hello,
10 degree scoliosis with neurilogical problem . Scoliosis is no problem at your age as ut us not going to progrese now. As far as weakness and shooting pain is concerned you need a neurosurgeon to consult. If your muscle weakness is due to disc herniation than you might need surgery.
you need to get MRI ti confirm this.
I hope this answer will be helpful to you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
