My 12 year old daughter just got her TLSO brace today. The orthotist is not very easy to talk to so I'm glad I have this forum to go to.
The rise on the brace that comes up under her arm is so high it digs into her arm and hurts. She is leaning way to the side now to avoid it. The orthotist says "she'll be used to it in two weeks".
Also the bottom of the brace is digging into her thighs leaving pink rash like marks after only a few minutes. She says it feels like pinching and it hurts. Is this normal??? The rest of the brace seems ok to her. Anyone else have these problems?
The orthotist only spent about 10 minutes with us and any complaints my daughter made were brushed off.
We've had alot of tears today so I'm hoping I can give her some encouragement.
