I have some mild scoliosis in my L1-L5 vertebrae. Its cause some arthritis down there. Which is extremely painful to me. I dont know the answers to help the scoliosis. I just take medication for the arthritis symptoms ( mobic is the med)And then Ultram as another pain med.

Probably all the driving your doing is exacerbating the pain with the usagae of your arms too. Just a thought .. Hope you find a way to relieve the pain.

Take care!!
