loulou33: Hi
I just wanted to let everyone know that its been 2 weeks now that my son has been wearing his back brace.
everything is going great.
we saw the back specialist on monday and while he's wearing his brace his curve goes from 22% to 12%. They told us that our son is really flexible and its a good sign.
My son was so happy...it seemed like 10 pounds just fell off his shoulders.
He'll be able to play basketball and soccer this summer (without a back brace)
he has to spend lots of time in the pool.
I think that everything will be fine

Thanks alot guys for all the kind words and advice.

I really appreciate it.
take care

loulou33: Hi,
My son (9) just got diagnosed with a 22% scoliosis.
He'll have to wear a back brace for a year...if the curve in his back don't stop progressing, he'll have to wear it until he stops growing!

The doc told his dad and I that the english...(ireland-england-scotland)have a higher risk to have scoliosis than the french!!! mmy son's dad is french, so I guess I musted transmitted that to him.

What I wanted to know, if anyone had to deal with this and how can I help my son get used to his brace?
are there activities that he wont be able to do???

Just some information

thanks
