[|Human|] I am 51 years old and was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 16. I have went threw injections in my spine serval times it would work for about a week.So I stopped, now pain wakes me up at night in my back and new systems pain in left hip and pain in right shoulder . Last time I went to back doctor I had a 45 degree curvature,What can I do to get out of this pain and is hip and shoulder pain related? I am currently not on pain killers.Also had history of blood clot that led into DVT & PE. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
[|AI|]  Thanks for the query. Scoliosis curve is in the upper back or lower back? Hip pain...... does it worsen when you move your hip in and out? If it's a buttock pain then it could be due to nerve pinching. Shoulder pain not related to hip or low back. However, neck problem can give rise to shoulder pain. Initial treatment is pain medicine and physiotherapy. Need to see your X-ray. Do you have a compensatory scoliosis curve? Need complete work up like X-ray and MRI of the spine. Need to establish the pain generator before doing any intervention. If possible get back with above information to tell you more about pain source. Thanks.
