Hey,
I'm Darcy and was diagnosed with scoliosis during the Summer of 2003. I was 11. I went to a physician after that during October, and they said to come back on March 1st. Everything seemed to be okay.
Then during January, I....well, lets just say that I developed. You know, my, uh...period. (Okay, that was embarassing.) My mom says that that's when you grow. I went back on March 1st, and he said that I got worse by 3 degrees. I hoped that was only because of what happened in January, and not that it'll be like that all the time! He said to go to a different doctor on March 20th, one that specialized in just kids.
On March 20th, there was some bad weather, and the doctor's office was out of town, so we didn't risk driving. Now its on April 23rd. Right now it is April 10th.
Do you think that I will get even more worse again, or I only got worse then because of what happened in January? Will I have to wear a brace? Last time I went (March 1st) I was at 15 degrees. You have to be at 20 to wear a brace, so is 5 degrees alot? Do you think I will only have to wear it after school? Can people tell that you have it on? I look fine, AND feel fine...if I do get to 20 degrees, will I still have to wear one? Help!
