Just had our first appt with the Ortho MD, He recommended a follow up x-ray in 1 YEAR....I'm new to this but that seems like a LONG TIME.
My daughter is 9, with a 15 degree curve, Rissor 0, and is having pain...which as I understand is not typical. The MD said the pain was due to having "tight hamstrings", my daughter has been in gymnastics since she was 4, I doubt her hamstrings are "tight".
I know 15 degree's is a small curve in comparison to others I have read about on this site, but she's my little girl and I'm scared out of my mind that it's going to progress if i just sit here and do nothing.
I've already requested a second opinion but have to wait for the HMO approval.
*** But is 1 year too long to wait for a follow up x-ray? ***
Thanks,
