Can scoliosis cause breathing problems?
It might, but you should have a braceing or even surgery before it gets that bad. Scoliosis is not likely to case pain in young patients, but if it grows, it should be braced. Yes it can, I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 10 and wore a back-brace for years. The scoliosis has also deformed my ribs, which causes problems with my lungs, for me, it's not constant, rarely I have shortness of breath, pain while breathing in and out or pressure in my chest (like the wind is knocked out of me). All of these only last for a few seconds at a time (maybe a minute) and not daily, sometimes not even weekly. I was told by my doctor that this is fine unless it gets worse. But I would suggest talking to your doctor about it, your situation may be worse or different than mine. Hope I helped and good luck!
