I am 15yrs old and have a 35 degree curve in my spine. Ive been getting pain and numbness in my left arm. Can scoliosis cause this?

There is a strong possibility that your scoliosis could be the source of your arm numbness and pain depending on the region of your lumbar curvature. Notify your physician if you are concerned and tell him/her your symptoms (numbness and pain) to pin point the exact cause and make sure that your symptoms are not secondary to something else undiagnosed.

The muscles pulling because of the curve especially if it is off to the side can aggravate it...

I'm not sure about that. I've never experienced it with mine. I'm 24 now, but I was a lot younger, I had to wear those extremely uncomfortably torso braces, and had to have surgery to fix it when I was 13. I'm not trying to scare ya, surgery isn't needed in all cases, but mine was severe.
