I Am 19 Years Old Suffering From Severe Backache And Scoliosis. Is The Pain Because Of An Extra Spinal Disk ?
Hi, I suffer from several back issues considering i m only 19...I weigh 140 pounds, and I stand 6 feet tall... it s far beyond a problem in all activities i do. I am missing L4 vertabrae, I also have a mild case of scoliosis , a herniated disk , and lastly, I ve been informed i have an extra spinal disk the doctor could not explain... How can i relieve my pain? I m relatively healthy, but almost all forms of exercise, and just the simple act of waking up are begginning to tear me apart. I have an appointment with a a surgeon , but that s n January 2012

Hi,
Your multiple complains mainly related to orthopedic surgeon.
For all problems still more investigations are required to exact diagnosis,you mentioned the causes are all vague.
You have also got hernia for which you have taken appointment.
The exercise you are doing also risky so after the opinion of specialist you carry out the exercises.

from the description you should immediately be admitted under orthopaedic surgeon's care and can not wait for jan12
talk to your doctor and inform about the emergency .most likely urgent admission will be arranged
stop all forms of exercises
with herniated disc the condition may be complicated any moment
do not delay get admitted and treatment should be initiated at the earliest for best result
