1st specialist visit for an 11 year old girl ..3 curves 26 deg, 30 deg, 27 deg
I am so new to all of this so please bare with me. My daughter is 11 I noticed a lump on her back in Jan. I took her to the peditrician and of course blood work and x-rays Diagnoisis Scoliosis. The xrays report reads like this:
To be honest I am not so sure I know what all of this means. And now I have to help my daughter deal with this.
We have an appointment at the end of Feb. 2012 to see Dr Gerow at Texas Childrens Hospital in Katy Texas. Is anyone familiar with this doctor? What do I need to ask? Any advice on how to help my daughter deal with all of this? Her peditrician said at a minium she would need a brace.
Thank you for any advice or help.
