    how long did you have to be in your boston brace?
    Hi, I am Eliza. I wear a boston brace. I have wore it for 2 months almost 3. I have 2 curves in my spine. One is 25*T, the other one is 20*S. My boston brace has kept them about the same degree since I have been wearing it. My hobbies include: volleyball, my dog (his name is Amos), swimming (for fun).

    Hi Eliza- My docter told me that I would have to be in a brace until I stopped growing, which for me would be like 3 years. So it depends on when you stop growing. Good luck!

        I wore a brace for about 4 years. I quit wearing it when I stopped growing.
        I know it seems like forever, but if it's helping your cruve then it's soooooo worth it. Unfortunately my brace couldn't control my curve, and I ended up having surgery.
        Good luck with your appointment, I hope everything goes well!!
        If you have any questions about the brace or anything feel free to ask, I'd love to help

                Well, I got my brace last September, and I will be taking it off in 2 years, or a year and a half. So put together is like 3 years.

                    Sorry it took me a while to reply
                    The surgery was hard, but, it was definitely worth it. At first I was so upset when I found out I had to have it done, but, now I'm very glad that I did.
                    How long have you been in your brace?

                          That sounds painful, is it? I am going to the doctors tomorrow! I am very nervous...

                            I wont lie, it was difficult, but as I said before it was totally worth it.
                            I hope everything goes good at the doctor tomorrow!
                            Let me know how it goes!


                            What is the degree of your curve right now?

                              Hi Eliza,
                              I had to wear my brace for 18 hours a day for two years. I went through three braces . How long have you been wearing your brace? Have a good doctor visit!
