Suggest Treatment For Scoliosis
My 18 year old son injured his back at work and went to the E.R. He was x-rayed and was told he had back strain, scoliosis, an extra rib and hip dysplasia. He was told he needed to attend physical therapy for a week, take vicodin and soma for the pain and he is being referred to a surgeon to remove the rib and fix his hip. Should I be worried and how common is this?
