My DD (17) has been for an xray of her spine today. While she was in the room she heard two members of staff discussing her spine. We found out that she was being tested for scoliosis (curved spine) and they said that she does have a problem but not enough to have to have rods inserted to straighten it. They could not discuss it with us - we were not meant to have overheard - and now we have to wait three weeks to speak to our GP about the results. My DD has only been getting a stiff back ab her spine is not noticeably curved - we were not expecting this outcome. Does anyone else know of older children who have developed this? My DD has stopped growing and spent 6 years at gymnastics without any problems. We are SO worried about her.
