hello to all who read this entry. i would like to tell you what i know about scheuermann's disease, which isnt much and there is not much data available that i have found either so that frustratesme as well.

* pain radiating from my neck to my lower back, caused by a curvature of the bones in my spine. apparently they developed at different stages. the back discs grew faster than the front discs causing the curve i dont know the exact degree but apparently mine is mild. i would hate to know what severe feels like as im in constant agony. my doctors unfortunately dont know much about this disease which is incurable. i take loads of pain meds every day which help to some degree thankfully. i have to keep a meds diary of what i take and when, this is useful at the visits to the dr as she can then work out what is going through my head at different times of the day. it helps me to keep track of my good days and my bad days as well as finding out triggers to my pain such as shopping or certain home duties. if amybody happens to know of any useful info on sceuermann's please send the site address my way every thing ive looked up so far has just been a description of what causes it. nothing useful like things to assist with
