We just went to dr for 4 months follow up appointment and found out that my daughter will need a Milwaukee brace. Her upper curve has gone from 21 to 31 in four months and the lower curve is now 17. From what I understand, Milwaukee brace is pretty bad. My daughter is twelve and a half and is very concerned about how she will look in the brace. Any ideas on how to prepare her? What kind of clothes should I get her? What kind of experience have you had with Milwaukee brace?
We have only one scoliosis specialist where we live, so I'm thinking of taking my daughter to Shriners in Chicago to get a second opinion. How hard is it to get an appointment there? Our next appointment here is in the beginning of February. I want to try and get into Shriners before that.
