Happy Monday everyone.
My 12 year old daughter is due to see her orthopedist in September. Her last visit was in March and at that time she was at 34 degrees - upper thoracic curve. We have noticed a change in her back and although we obvioulsy cannot be sure without actually having the xray done, we do think her curve has progressed, possibly dramatically. Just recently, I'd say over the last several weeks, she has been complaining of pain in her back. Last night we were up with her until very late as she cried in bed because her back hurt. We are looking at possible surgery next summer, but does anybody know of anything that helps with back pain during the interim? I'm thinking that waiting until next summer for surgery is not the best option if she continues in pain like she is now...I have not called the orthopedist yet - was hoping to get her through until her next scheduled appointment.
If you know of any way to alleviate the pain of this type of curve while sleeping, please throw your ideas my way!
Thank you -
