Suggest Treatment For Scoliosis And Arthritis
I have scoliosis, 33 degree curvature and advanced arthritis. Extreme pain daily which has been increasing. Take high doses of oxy (no increases possible) and used to take cyclobenzaprine too. Recently stopped cyclo (4 weeks ago with no withdrawal problems), but now having increased pain daily. Recent TSH was 6.01 Was taking Cyclo for 10 years. Want to try it again? Is it OK to do so?

Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, since you are on Maximum dosages but other exacerbating factors should also be ruled out. Bone mineral density tests, and DEXA scans should also be done. Vitamin D3 levels may also be needed to be done.
Replacement for calcium D3 osien mineral complexes may be helpful in decreasing progression as well as symptomatic relief. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Regards
