I had a back brace when I turned 7 years old, and I had that brace throughout middle school. It was comfortable, and designed to keep the curve where it currently was - but didn't work out for long since I ended up needed and got surgery during high school.

I had to wear a back brace for 3.5 years.

Had a brace while in middle school; Worked for a while... then puberty hit. Overtime, I stopped getting checkups as an adult

Used one after my surgery, took a lot of pressure off of where my back was fused making it easier to walk, stand, sit, etc. I had to wear it on the outside of my clothing, so it looked pretty silly.

the brace does help however it is very uncomfortable.

Daunting but happy with the end result

Affects my acid refleux.

I was a brace failure, but if nothing else, it made me a stronger person.

If i would have worn it, it might have helped but i was too worried about what the kids at school would say and was too busy with sports to care,
I used to get sores when I did wear it

At age 11 I was diagnosed with this. 1967 and alot of things was not known by alot of Dr.s. I was fitted with a full leather body brace with 2 rods in front and 2 in the back. I wire this 24-7..was able to bathe for a mater of 15 min .only. Now as I am MUCH older the pain is there and buldging discs and arthritis has set in.
