Hello, I’d like to revisit a Wellness Wednesday blog on August 5, 2026, where I wrote about pain in my chest and back. My chest became inflamed, and then my breathing became an issue.

I was in an RA flare and also had Costochondritis. During this period, I was on over-the-counter meds, pain patches, prednisone, and muscle relaxers. At the end of that blog, I stated that I was getting X-rays the next day.

I did get the X-rays the next day of my chest and thoracic spine. The chest x-ray was fine. However, the thoracic spine X-ray showed that I had adult-onset Scoliosis( which I thought was crazy) with degenerative spurring.

I heard from someone that scoliosis in old aged is common at my age. I still thought it was crazy because I thought kids were the only ones who got scoliosis. As a matter of fact, my oldest son was diagnosed with it as a teenager.

I wasn’t sure what any of that (the diagnosis) meant, so I made an appointment to see my Orthopedic doctor and rheumatologist. Prayerfully, I will receive an answer I can deal with. In the meantime, I am still on pain patches, muscle relaxers, Tylenol, and a heating pad. I am off the prednisone. So when I know what’s going on with me, y’all will know what’s going on.

I am sharing this pin below with a little information I got from Google.

Until the Next Blog Be Blessed
