You don’t just “develop” scoliosis. If you were checked two years ago, then I highly doubt you have it now. It is possible that you could have lumbar strain, or something called lordosis. I found out that I have lordosis when I into physical therapy for lumbar strain. There are a lot of things that can cause lower back pain. Heat and stretch. Lay on your back, tuck your knees up, and pull your knees closer to your body with your hands. It works, trust me.

I have scoliosis and it’s difficult sometimes.
I wrote an article about it:
I’m not a bot..it’s a real article. My spine is curved 45 degrees.
Most of the time, you’ll notice a hump or uneven rib cage. Usually you have pain in the same part of your back. The best thing to do is to get an x-ray done.

Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. Ask your mom to check you. Take off you shirt and touch you knees, then have your mom look up your spine to see if is curving unusually. Have a Dr. check it too. I think it can be hereditary.

i had scoliosis.. i had to have surgery to correct. but if you have it, you can easily detect it… one leg might be a tad longer than the other. you could feel your spine curve, if you look at your chest one side might be higher/farther away from your center than the other. when you stand normal your feet do not point anywhere close to straight in front of you but rather way out to the sides.
