    Tell me if my scoliosis sounds severe enough for surgery?
    OK well my back is hurting very bad and it hurts to breathe in and my legs keep going numb everyday and today I was walking down the stair steps at school and they went numb and almost gave out on me.

    Oh P.S. I have to carry around 40 pounds on my back and walk the stairs at the same time. So does my spine sound pretty bad

    With all your ailments you claim to have and now a curvature of the spine why haven't you consulted a doctor about this? Why are you coming here expecting us to properly diagnose your numerous ailments over the internet?

    P.S. Carrying a backpack with 40 lbs in it definitely will cause you to have back problems.
