Hi everyone I am new here could use some advise, I have been reading all I can about scoliosis, bracing etc. and I am lost about the curve degrees and how they just watch and see intill the curve gets to 20 to 30 before treatment. My concern is she is getting worse she is now 16 with only a 14 degree mulitcurved it was her 3rd xray she started out at 8 degree 1 year ago they also now say she has spina bifida occulta of S1. On her first xray she had not started her period she started right before her 2nd xray,
Her shoulder has dropped from the time between her 2nd xray and 3rd her back always hurts in the morning and it looks like her hip has dropped now with hip and knee pain. In June it's time for her 4th xray but her doctor got her into Shriner's Hospital (he was concerned)
I had another child treated on the burn unit at Shriner's so I know how good they are.
But if they want to brace her is that really a good idea??? my daughter is highly active but the pain now in her hip hurts more when she runs but she still does it I don't stop her from being active I know it's good for her
will they wait till she is at 20 or 30 degrees she is already with a dropped shoulder at 14 degrees and her hip now dropped
sorry so long
any thoughts advice would be greatly appreated
