Help, feeling trapped in my back
Hi, I am new here and found this website while trying to find information on my multitude of back issues, it seems as though they just keep referring me to another dr. and order more tests...
I am 23 years old  and I have a low grade scoliosis curve thats been present since childhood, I haven't been diagnosed with kyphosis officially but my back has a severe c shaped curve and in the past two years i have developed a significant hump on the top of my neck (much like a woman in her 70s would have), I have always had back pain since i was little but in the past two years it has gotten out of hand. I was told today that a few of my vertebrae in the middle of my back either have bone spurs or early arthritis degeneration, when i received an epidural for childbirth about 5 months back they (unknowingly) placed it right in the area where my vertebrae are starting to degenerate and since i have had severe pain in that area that radiates through out my back and is tender to the touch, I have begun to get severe headaches and i am constantly achy and fatigued....
I was wondering does anyone have any of the issues (if so what kind of treatment options can i expect?), does anyone else my age have problems like this, and just generally what can i do about pain while i wait to have a million dr.s figure out all the issues
