How old is your daughter? My daughter was 14 ish when she was dianosed as having a slight curvature of her spine causing one leg to be shorter than the other. She'd been complaining of painful back, legs and feet for a long time before they found out what the problem was. She's in her 30s now and still get pain occaisionally, sciatica being the main problem. She finds that keeping her weigh down is a real help. If your daughter's pain is too bad take her back to the specialist. Hope she'll be ok though xx

What type of curvature does she have? Is it Khyphosis, Scoliosis or Lordosis?

she was diagnosed at 15
and she will be 16 next week, she is still attending a physiotherapist and will now be going to see a specialist.

it is scoliosis she has.

thanks for your answers.
