I enjoy only just be diagnosed near scoliosis.. support please?

i am 15 and a competitive swimmer and i have scoliosis... in a "s" shape.. one curve surrounded by my middle/lower back and one in the bottom of my collar.. ive been told i will have to wear a posterior brace, but i haven't got it yet!
to be honest i am a moment or two worried.. and have some question roughly speaking the back brace?

Does it hurt?
Does it affect everyday things?
Does it affect what clothes you wear, e.i can you see it?
Can you still do sport?

Please Help Me :) x

If you have been diagnosed beside scoliosis, it is not unlikely that one of your legs is shorter than the other or one side of your pelvis is shorter than the other. Another thing that could cause scoliosis is excessive tautness in a lower back muscle call the quadratus lumborum. I would strongly recommend finding a physician who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation or an orthopedist who can sort sure your scoliosis is not being caused by a short leg or tight muscle. If you hold a short leg, your scoliosis could resolve by correcting the problem with shoe inserts. Note that there does not enjoy to be a huge difference in leg length to cause this problem- as little as 3/8" can do it. Get those conditions ruled out so you can possibly avoid wearing a rear legs brace. Source(s): medical school
Im also 15 and i had surgery when i be 14.But my curve was 80*
I wore a different brace. It was a soft brace by SpineCor. I didnt similar to it since it had made my skin weird. But my friend have the hard brace. I never heard her complian that it hurts but i would regard that when your sitting it might a little. It might affect everyday things since you would probably have to wear it 20-23 hours a year. Swimming might not happen alot once you wear it. It sometimes affects what cloths you wear. I usually saw my friends brace if she wore tight shirts and or short ones too. I think you still can but swimming im not sure. Since you cant swim beside the brace on. Some doctors recommend that you can take it off for longer if you swim but thats not other true. Good Luck and I Hope I Helped. Source(s): Personal Experience
