Hi, my 11 year old daughter(just turned 11 in April) has been diagnosed with "S" shaped scoliosis, with curves measuring Left t-4 24*, right T8-9 23* and left L1-2 12*. This is all so stressful to me as I find conflicting info on what to do! We see the orthopedist on Monday, and I have all my ducks in a row so to speak. I have researched treatment options and various braces. My pediatrician (who discovered the curve when I took my daughter for knee pain!) says since she is pre-mens, and has alot of growth left her opinion is to start a brace to keep curves from worsening, but to let the specialist decide. My nerves are shot, and my daughter is an emotional wreck as she is active in track, and ballet, tap and jazz dance! Can anyone offer any advice to ease our minds??
Thanks alot
Thanks alot
