Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Greetings. I am experiencing pain in my upper back. Specifically the shoulder blade near my spine. I also have a numbness or tingly sensation in my left pinky and left ring finger. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 14. I am now 48. Is the scoliosis causing this pain and numbness?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Scoliosis can cause spinal problems like disc prolapseosteochondrosis etcetera. If you send an X-ray of the spine and a picture of your back then I can comment more about the problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Nishad BN
