        Blacksabbath,

        What a great birthday present ! How old are you and what degree curvature do you have without the brace ?




        Plopony,

        That's a really long time ! I read on another thread that you have been wearing your brace since you were five years old ? Do you remember what degree curvature you had at the age of five ? What degree is it now ? I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing your experiences about wearing a brace for so long ? My daughter, who is now 4 1/2 may be in a brace for many years to come (hopefully not )
