higher curves than we thought...
We saw a surgeon yesterday, he measured the upper curve (which the last surgeon did not do) - 36 degree thoracic curve and 32 degree lumbar. I am trying to get an appointment at the Shriners in Erie to decide between SpineCor and Boston.
Do any of you who are using SpineCor have upper curves in that range and does it seem to be helping at all? With this new data we are not quite as certain anymore about the SpineCor.
Our surgeon here would rather us get the boston if she is willing to brace at all, but he said if we got Spinecor he'd still be happy to follow her for us. We go in December for a second x-ray to check progression and would love to get a spinecor asap so we can see if the in brace correction is worth going with that brace.
Thanks,
Christina
