My boy diagnosed Scolosis!

16.9.13 - JS was feeling unwell since last week and has been taking salt water for his sore throat. But eventually he was down with bad sinus with nose blockage. It was bad and I insisted that he goes to the doctor. So, I took him to clinic 2 days ago. As the Indian doctor was friendly, I also consulted him over my boy's bony chest. He told him to take off his shirt and he diagnosed his case as a slight deformation of the rib that is a little similar to pigeon chest. However he also pointed out another issue that my boy has, his back bone is not in the correct posture that should be, straight that is. He showed me and yes, it was not straight. It slightly tilted to the right side which is not supposed to. This problem is called Scoliosis which could lead to back pain at old age. He told my boy to try to walk straight and don't hump. He also told him not to carry heavy load on one side of the shoulder but to balance it out on both sides of his shoulder to avoid his problem from getting worse. Hmm, am I worried for him. But, it's better to know early than be sorry later. Now that he knows his problems, he has better change his habits from now on. I can help out by reminding him but it is important that he helps himself. I pray that my boy will be fine and get better. Lord, please bless my boy.
