Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi everyone, i'm new here so thought I'd share my story. I live in England and my 2 1/2 yr old girl,Amy has idiopathic scoliosis. She is currently in her 1st cast which she has had on for about 3months (which i feel is quite a long time after reading that some of your children have theirs changed every 6 weeks!)I first noticed that Amy had a larger hip on one side when she was 10 months old, the doctor told me it was soft tissue so i left it at that, however her hip became more noticable and i could see that her back wasn't straight, i took her back to the doctors to be reassured that it was only soft tissue,after the 3rd time i asked to be referred to a specialist which was when she was finally diagnosed with scoliosis(she was 2 by now)After having her MRI scan i was told that she would be casted for about 2 years, though surgery may be needed at the end of this time, does anyone have an infant that has been told they may need surgery but as the time came they have just used braces instead? i would appreciate any information, thanks, jade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
