Hello. Did he undergo an MRI for this or just a CT scan? You might need an opinion of an orthopedic spine surgeon or a neurosurgeon spine specialist who is experienced in treating scoliosis or complicated spinal disorders. For your son's comfort you might also want to check your local pain clinics so that at least he would be comfortable until you find the doctor he needs to treat his condition.
