I have posted here before but, always on the bracing section. My daughter had a disappointing appointment today. She is finished growing but, her top curve has progressed to a 50 degree curve. It had been staying right at 38 for over a year and in four months it went to 50. Her bottom curve is still at 38. I am feeling a little overwhelmed. Should she have surgery right away or should we keep waiting? She is very active. She plays basketball and cheers. Will she be able to do that after surgery? What part of her life are we willing to give up while she recovers from surgery? Should I take her for second opinions about having surgery? If he only operates on her top curve what are the chances of needing revision surgery? Her next appointment is in two months. What is best for my daughter? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
