  • whats your curve degree..

    My Curve...

    I have two curves, an upper and lower. The upper one is worse, so that's the one they're treating. It's at a 45 degree right now, and I got to pick between a full tiem or nighttime brace. I picked night, so I have to wear it when I sleep. I haven't gotten the brace yet (it arrives next week) so I'm hoping it isn't extremely uncomfortable . If you wear a brace, what's it feel like??
    I'm Karin. I had surgery for my scoliosis on October 13, 2005, and am doing well! I formerly wore a providence brace and did PT for treatment.
