Scoliosis with neurofibromatosis
I had got a chest x- ray done and the radiologist who did the x-ray noticed a curved spine in the back.
I have neurofibromatosis and visible lesions there are some in my lower back as well.
Should I get a proper x- ray done for my back
Is it life threatening or can be managed over time?

It is usually not life-threatening but should be evaluated properly.
Get a full spine X-ray AP & lateral view and get in person consult with orthopedic spine specialist.
Management depends on severity.
