Our option was a brace at 20 degrees and possible surgery at 40 degrees. We saw the video about surgery--nope not for me she said. Sign me up for the back brace please. <br />She is suppose to wear it 16-20 hours a day and 95% of the time she does. She takes it off for swim team and volleyball along with any other physical activity or special event. Her brace has a button in it that monitors her wearing of it and I am happy to say that her last report from 12/21/16-4/17/17 (117 days) stated that she wore it on an average of 17.5 hours a day. 14 of those days she wore it more than 20 and two days were completely zero because she had her wisdom teeth pulled. She had 8 days where she wore it for 8 hours only and that was due to her birthday party, tubing in the snow, 3 volleyball tournaments and two friends birthday parties. <br />We approached this as--THIS IS OKAY. THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL. YOU CAN DO THIS! She told her friends about it and now they laugh when they go to hit her in fun and forget that she has a brace on under her clothes. They say-Oww! She laughs and says, oops, sorry! :) She wears tons of cute clothes and never has had an issue with clothing. She wears her normal size too. The problem that we have had is the holes she gets in the clothes. So wear a tank top under the brace for comfort (or use the long Boston cotton stretchy one they can get for you) AND WEAR A TANK TOP/CAMISOLE/LITTLE T-SHIRT OVER IT TO PROTECT YOUR CLOTHES!! We can't blame her for the holes in the clothes, but man it makes you mad when you just buy her something and go to wash it and there are the holes! :( <br />She learned in no time flat how to put herself into the brace and hook it on herself. No one needs to help her. She learned how to make it comfortable for herself during certain activities. <br />You need to embrace it and know that this is going to help you and not make it a negative. Post it on Facebook to your friends so they know what is going on. Have her tell her friends about it. Let everyone know about it and have them ask questions. Don't let it be a negative! <br />She is 13 years old now and has no issues. Her brace doesn't hurt her, but if she could take it off she would love to. She knows when to take it off and when to make up hours. She knows that this will help her and hopefully doesn't have to have the alternative back surgery. <br />There are lots of good You Tube videos that show supportive girls telling you all about it and some great books too. Be positive and turn it in to no big deal and before you know it, you will be out of the brace!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727009579017455524.post-7891356831046389742017-03-04T19:02:31.937-06:002017-03-04T19:02:31.937-06:00Hi Music Geek 101,

"My back hurts so much, please Mom and Dad, can I get a King like Bed ? I'm sure it will help me sleep better". <br />That's what I said to them and I got my King size bed. I got many other exemples like getting a bathroom with a bath instead of a shower because "I need to relax", getting massages...<br />I also remember that one time at the airport, the line was extremely long, and as I am really impatient, I went straight to the hostess, and I said " Please madam, I have a scoliosis brace, and my back hurts so much (I showed her my brace) " I went first on the plane !! That made my day<br />I seem like laughing about it a lot but it's not easy everyday (mostly dressing up). I just think that you can try to take advantage from any shots situations <br />Good luck !! <br />I'll keep an eye on the blog just in case you replyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967575116435769349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727009579017455524.post-24690428462930843892017-02-27T19:40:51.460-06:002017-02-27T19:40:51.460-06:00I just got diagnosed with scoliosis last year, I h...I just got diagnosed with scoliosis last year, I have an S curve of 30 on top and 18 on bottom.

I was also really afraid that people would make fun of me but I was pleasantly surprised when most people simply wanted to know more about it. They asked questions and I did my best to explain. <br /><br />I think they do come in different colors now but when I had mine I wasn't given that option. <br /><br />My best advice is to find clothes you can wear over the brace that make YOU FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE! Try not to worry about what other people think (I know its hard) and remember that the brace is helping you! Also, try to find some SEAMLESS tank tops to wear under it. This helps make it a little bit more comfortable. <br /><br />Good luck and I am wishing you the best!Holly Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647080014461581258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727009579017455524.post-11678525273803924522016-12-10T16:46:44.068-06:002016-12-10T16:46:44.068-06:00I just got diagnosed I go in 2 weeks to see if I n...I just got diagnosed I go in 2 weeks to see if I need a brace.

It was extremely difficult, not just because of my age and feeling awkward and self-conscious. The pain of sitting at a desk, walking briskly, and just breathing deeply, got to me quite often. I tried everything for the chafing and eventually found something that worked for the most part. Cocoa butter after my shower and a generous amount of baby powder on my rib cage and hip bones, and of course a cotton tank. Summer was another story, almost nothing helped, except to just try to stay out of the heat. It dug into my pelvis. It squished my tiny teenage breasts if I didn't sit up totally straight. Kids were so mean. But the doctor told me if I didn't wear it I would be a hunchback in my thirties. I'm 38 now and haven't had any back problems considering my curve is 36 degrees. Thankfully my teenage daughter and son show NO signs of scoliosis and it's such a relief. I ache for you girls having to wear one and remembering the pain and constantly feeling uncomfortable. You are in my thoughts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06312329591125998998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727009579017455524.post-69897992639672103982016-02-03T20:27:26.689-06:002016-02-03T20:27:26.689-06:00First of all, I am so sorry the brace is so uncomf...First of all, I am so sorry the brace is so uncomfortable!! I wore my brace a LONG time ago (about 11 years), so I don't remember everything I did. <br /><br />I did wear soft SEAMLESS tank tops under it to keep it from rubbing and hurting my skin badly; there really isn't much that helps. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
