[|Human|] I had recently been in a wreck and I was rear ended. I had gotten an MRI done. It said that I had a mild indentation of the right ventral aspect of the thecal sac at T2-3 secondary to the scoliosis. A person can visibly see this inflammation on my back. And now my whole left side of my body is up higher than the right. I have never had problems with the scoliosis before. Why now and what does this mean for me as I get older. I am currently 24 female.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. In your query, you don't mentioned, why you have gotten an M R I. So please, if possible attach the report of MRI and also X-ray report. With these reports the exact position of deformity could be found out. Left side of body is up higher than the right side. It means scoliosis is from some time. Keep in mind early diagnosis and if necessary, treatment are therefore essential. Rate of progression of disease with deformity is hard to predict when we see the patient first time. Comparable anteroposterior X-rays of the ENTIRE SPINE should be taken every three months during first year so that exact nature of progression of deformity could be judged. Exercises for chest expansion is very much effective in these type of cases. Bending to the side of convexity is also important. Rotation in the appropriate direction to derogate the spine. Hope I have answered your query. If further any query I will be happy to help. Good luck.
