What Could Cause Curving Of The Back Bone?

My daughter called me crying because the Ortho Dr she saw today said her spine was curving the wrong wat and she had arthritis is her lower back. He told her she was fat and if she lost weight it would go away. She has very large knot at her neck, had a complete history tome at 24 and working with Dr on hormone balance. She has so much pain, which then triggers vomiting. I was shocked. He what he said true?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your question and it might be true. Young girls can have scoliosis. It can progress and it can cause nerve problems also. So first she should take care of her hormonal balance. Also she should loose weight.I would also like to suggest you to send her x rays to me. I have experience of operating many patients with similar complains, and I can help you further if i got all reports.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
