[|Human|] I have not been diagnosed with Scoliosis but I have noticed that my back has a lot of curves and it is very painful and stiff. My right rib cage hurts and my right shoulder is lower than the left. My back is on fire from my neck to my tailbone and I have burning pain almost all the time in my back with right leg and right arm numbness and pain. My balance is very poor and I am dizzy often. Could this be Scoliosis and which test would be best to diagnose it?
[|AI|]  Hi! I understood your problem, No, just burning pain in back, dizziness and balance problem do not indicate scoliosis. By your statement that you have noticed a lot of curves it's not clear which curves you are talking about. We normally have curves in spine. If you have noticed something not usual like c- shaped curve, s -shaped curve, you need to get x-ray done for1.lumbar spine2.thoracic spine-rayed can easily diagnose whether you have scoliosis or not, at which level and its severity.regarding your balance problem you need to tell me your age. Do you have any family history of balance problem ??? Did you have any ear infections recently ?? Balance impairments can be due to ear problems or due to something abnormal in brain, but don't panic at all, go for x-ray first.
