What Yoga Poses are good for Scoliosis and Leg/Back Pain?
Question: Hi! I just started looking into yoga for elderly. I have a lot of arthritis in my back as well as severe scolilousis (I can never spell it). I’m in lots of pain most of the time and I have numbness in both legs. Mostly the right and sometimes it feels like I’m being stabbed with a huge needle in my thigh which causes a squeezing of the nerves. I’m on nerve medication which is helping but is so expensive. Also the Dr. doubled my blood pressure meds. I think it was up due to the pain level. I hate taking all these meds and when I retire, I will not be able to afford them. I also am overweight and have high cholesterol. I need HELP & FAST. It’s getting hard to sit or ride in a car for any length of time. I’m 4’10 and 169#’s I tried diet pills which really helped with the desire to eat but also caused heart palputations. I feel like I can’t win for losing. I also have a pinched nerve in my neck since I was 19 and now I’m 62. Please let me know if there is anything you feel could
