i have scoliosis for the last 28 years(i am a 39 year old female),i use to take antinflamatory tablets that use to work for the pain i got,then they stopped working & just gave me bad stomach aches.to get rid of the pain now i have to lie down between 1 to 2 hours,this is very frustrating when i have to go out or get things done,i even got put on a disability pension because of my back.does any one else have the same problem as me & do u know of any pain releivers that work?,i have tried asprin,panadine forte,tramadole and ibrofen none of these work

Keep moving, the more you move the better off you are despite the pain. Have you considered hydro therapy. Joining an exercise class that uses a pool. The buoyancy from water relieves stress on the joints and allows a person to get in physical activity without it feeling painful. Try changing your anti-inflammatory or pain meds. The next step would be scoliosis surgery if nothing else works.
