hello again, after being away for a long time
I had my last appointment in February, and the results were shown to be top curve 22 and bottom 17. The bottom had had an improvement (!) of about 6 degrees, while the 22 remained the exact curvature as before.
At the time, I had worn the brace (Spinecor) for one year and four months and had a 2 Risser sign (and, according to my mom who is a scientist, VERY 2) and it is now time for my next appointment, when I am supposedly at 3 and able to take the brace off. My question is, how much do you grow between rissers 2-3? Is growth basically stopped so that its a precaution, or is there still some significant room for my spine to get worse? If so, how much would you estimate it could be worse? (not really how much it could be worse, but the limit of how worse it could be)
Thanks
