hi my name's marlana. i'm a sophomore in high school, but found out about my scoliosis the summer before 5th grade. i wore a back brace for about a year and had spinal fusion the summer before 7th grade. i don't remember the degrees of my curves but i have an s-curve and they were like 60 and 30 degrees before my surgery, and i think they reduced the top curve to 20. if you wanna talk or have any questions, just let me know. i was lucky because i didnt have pain from my scoliosis until after the surgery. i hope you dont have to wear the brace. one of my friends sisters had scoliosis and it fixed itself so maybe that will happen to youMarlana

Hi! I am 17 and i wore a brace from the time i was 7 till i was 15...I really didnt mind it at all. if u get a boston brace, they are really low profile and u cant even see them under ur clothes (unless the clothes are tight) u could probably wear a skirt and sweater and no one would even notice! i hope u dont have to get one, but i really didnt have a hard time with the brace. lots of kids dont have to wear one full time either . talk to ur doc and the orthosis people too. they can help!8years in Boston Brace starting curve 22 degrees, ending around 30 anterior fusion in 2004, curve went from 48 degrees to 25 !!im in college and love to ride horses, swim, and bike!
