Scoliosis question?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to get some people's opinion about scoliosis. For the people that have this condition, have you ever had anything along the sternum area sticking out because of having a misaligned body due to scoliosis? I have a brother that has this and was wondering if anyone has ever had something like this. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

yes scoliosis can cause that to happen because it throws your whole body of of whack..when you have scoliosis you should be seeing an orthopedic doctor for x-rays every 6 months for them to check on it to see if it is advancing or not until you are 18 years old after your body is done growing. if the curvature exceeds a certain degree then bracing or surgery is warranted. if not then you will be okay you just have to work on posture and strenghtening your spinal muscles.

scoliosis can cause rib deformity...that's pretty common..
