  • Back Pains

    Hi! Haley here. I just got a Boston brace on Friday, June 5th. My back has been hurting consistently. Is this normal? Any time I sit or lay down, it feels like I have a huge bruise and I'm putting pressure on it.
    Any tips to make this stop?

    Thanks!

    Haley

    I have been dancing for 10 years.
    I have taken gymnastics for 1 year.
    I was diagnosed with scoliosis December 19, 2008.
    I have had a boston brace for a little more
    than a month.
    I have no idea what my curves are. I will ask my mom later.

    I hope my brace works or else I will
    be really sad!!!!!

    Hi, my name is Valerie, but you can call me Val or V.
    I wore a Boston Brace from 2007-2010
    My curves were 30 and 31
    I now have only a single curve which stands at 35 degrees.
    I owe all of my blessings to The Lord!
    I am very thankful with where my spine is at right now.
    I want to meet some new people on this forum!
    Don't be shy...
    Feel free to message me if you would like to chat!

      I had a lot of pain when I was first in my brace too. Just take some ibuprofen
      It's okay; it will get better. i feel your pain- we all do


      good luck

      Boston Braced Since March 26, 2009.
      2 thoracic curves: 28 and 22 degrees.
      1 lower lumbar curve: 14 degrees.

      One leg is longer than the other; pelvic tilt.
      Curves are reversing in my brace!

      and treatment was not required.


      "I am uneven.
      2 Halves.
      1 body.
      A curve.
      So what?
      Mistakes.
      They lie.
      Within.
      My spine.
      I.
      Do not.
      Match up.
      Inside.
      And outside.
      I am uneven."

        Tell your brace person next time you go back, maybe it needs some adjusting.
        From what i heard Bsoton braces hurt and are uncomfortable!

        Have you looked into other braces? There is a soft boston (hard on the outside, and ahs a soft liner in the inside)
        and the newer braces TriaC (from the same company as hard Boston braces)
        and Spinecor.
        Good Luck

          My curves have improved a lot!
          I've had my brace almost a year now, and it's almost closed
