Hi,

I have a condition called Scheuermann's disease in my back and I wonder if it prevents me from getting a class 1 medical? I don't have to take any painkillers and the back doesn't affect normal day to day routines.

Have any one of you got any insight on this kind of back condition and flying?

Thanks for the answers

have you seen this:-

Musculoskeletal Guidance Material | Medical | Personal Licences and Training (http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=2499&pagetype=90&pageid=13834)

and this:-

Medication used for musculoskeletal conditions | Medical | Personal Licences and Training (http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=2499&pagetype=90&pageid=13832)

not certain it will give you all the answers you are looking for but it will give you a general idea about how the UK CAA thinks about musculoskeletal conditions of all sorts.
