Hi. I have severe scoliosis. I am wondering if someone could tell me approximately the degree of my curvature if I send my xray?
Brief Answer:
Approximately 80 degrees of Cobb angle.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to " Ask a Doctor" service.
I have read your query, I examined the x-rays that you uploaded too.
It is difficult to measure the correct Cobb ( scoliosis) angle without a complete spine x-rays film.
However, I measured yours on the x-rays that you provided.
It is severe scoliosis of your lumbar spine with a measured Cobb angle of 80 degrees.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask if you have further questions.

Hi. I am in the process of putting a referral to see a spine surgeon. They want a full MRI of my spine before my nurse practitioner can put the referral in. My nurse practitioner said the MRI will take approximately 5 months to get. It is greatly affecting my breathing the way I am sitting in my wheelchair. My neck leans to the side that I am affected by the scoliosis. Is there anything I can ask for or is there a way to get an urgent referral? I’m not sure how this works with referrals. Thanks in advance.

Just to add to the last follow up question, I have added a picture of the way I’m sitting so you can see how that is affecting my neck and breathing.

Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
With that scoliosis degree and pulmonary problems, you should be treated very soon surgically.
Five months is too long, so, in your case, you should see a Pneumologist for your respiratory problems, and you should get from him a recommendation for faster scoliosis treatment.
Hope I helped you.
Take care
