We just found out the end of July that our 11 year old daughter has scoliosis. She just got her brace one week ago and we're working her into it slowly. The last two nights she was supposed to sleep in for 8-10 hours, however, both nights at 2 AM she came to me and said she couldn't sleep due to being uncomfortable and rightly so. The orthotist said if it wakes her up to take it off and try again by loosening it. So, today I told her she needed to get some hours in it and she wore it to school today. Does anybody have any ideas of making them comfortable at night so they can sleep with it on? And how long does it take for them to get used to it. She is supposed to eventually wear it for 20-22 hours a day. Her curve is 42.6.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
