Hi ~ I kinda doubt if it had anything to do with it. The reason I say that is this. I've had spinal problems siince I was about 38 yrs old and have every test in the book. Back then, no mention was made of any scoliosis from the X-rays/Mri's, C-scans, etc. Now that I'm 60, the last MRI I had, they mentioned that I had a minor case of scoliosis!! Now, I don't know if age causes the spine to curve or what. All I know is it's not straight anymore. Go figure.

I know MY problem was that I was born with an extra vertebra, so instead of stopping at L5, I stopped at L6. That always confused the radiologists! LOL. Come to find out from the Neurologists tho that it's quite common ~ don't know why the radiologists didn't know it then! LOL. But that's why my back started falling apart. YOu could have been born with an extra one too, who knows??? By now, it could have fused to the S1, like mine did.

Anyway, scoliosis is just a curvature of the spine. The burning in your legs is caused by the nerves. You should be on a med such as Topamax. Most people are on Neurontin, but that makes you loopy, gain weight, and retain water. Topamaxx doesn't have ANY side effects and works great! ALL my leg burning has stopped and I've been on the same dosage for 8 years. I've had this for 24 years, so this is a treat to have it stopped.

Good luck and God bless. Peace, Lee
