Guest guest Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hi ladies, I just have a couple of questions: First of all my daughter finally got out of her cast and is in her TLSO. Where in the world can I find t -shirts to put under the brace that don't get all sweaty and nasty and wrinkled? Her poor skin is a mess where the seams of the t shirts are digging into her. Second- we finally graduated from our 3rd cast and into the brace last week. We had an xray done on Friday and it was terrible. I almost broke down when I saw it, the lumbar and thoracic curve was back. When we went into the brace we were within a few degrees of perfectly straight. Well her spine looked like a snake and that was in the brace. I left and immediately went to the orthotist who added additional pads, and tightened the brace, stating we were really going to have to hunker down. She had been wearing the brace 23.5 hours a day, only off for baths. Has this happened to anyone else? We will repeat the xrays on Monday. Do you think we lost all that we gained? How did this happen? I am so frustrated and really hating the stupid brace. Don't get me wrong, putting her in the tub every night is so nice, but it just seems like I had less to worry about when she was in the cast. Any input is appreciated! Thanks.
