After much searching, I have finally decided to go ahead with surgery this spring. (Scared to death!) I will have T-4 to L-3 fused, more than I would have liked; but it is what it is!! Anyway, I am wondering about the different types of braces that are out there for post-op recovery. My doctor does not recommend or generally use them, but is willing to provided me with one. It might be crazy asking for one, but I have three young active kids, so I thought it would be a good visual for them (don't jump on mommy etc..) if I had one. I have had two doctors talk about two different kinds - one being hard shell (like boston brace) and the other one has some hard parts the velcro. I am interested in hearing from anyone - looking for input as to the different types (pros/cons) etc..
