Hey ,
I have a 40 degree thoratic lumbar curve. At first i was totally against surgery, so i wanted a brace. Now, ive had the boston brace for 2 months and its really hard to cope with. No clothes disguise it well and im always uncomfortable. I get upset everyday and noone understands what im going through. So ive been thinking, i want the operation as the brace is too hard for me to cope with.
I told my doctor and he doesnt recommend this, as my spine wont grow any more (and im only 5ft tall).
Im just so confused! What do you guys think? Is 40 degrees bad enough for and operation?
Thanks
