  • Just got it :(

    Hey everybody! I am new here and am 12 and almost 1/2 (June 30th). I was Diagnosed in January with a 10 T and a 20 L. But after a few months, I had a 15T and 25 L (the time when they start bracing! ). I was given a boston brace last friday and can already say POOP. I am still getting into it but I'm doing keyboarding during summer school and my back gets so sore by thaat 4 hr period!!! I Hate it, any advise???

    just continue wearing it...

    I know, right now it sucks. it really does. but once you get used to it, it really improves. nothing can compare to being w/o a brace, but you just have to keep wearing it. my parents set up a system that while I was weaning into the brace, if I was wearing it, I could do whatever I wanted, watch TV play on the computer, etc. good luck!!
    Hey, so I'm Rebecca, I'm 20 and I wore a Boston Brace for one year, and then a Cheneau brace for 5+ years. The Cheneau changed my life. I now am out of brace full time!!!! Its amazing. For all my scoli-girls (and guys of course) hang in there - the day you get your brace off is the best feeling ever. All the years of wearing it won't matter when that day comes. amo vobis!
