My Scoliosis

                  
                      I was eleven and I was in fifth grade when I found out that I had scoliosis. How I found out that I had scoliosis was, one night it was really cold and my back was hurting a lot, so my mom took me to the doctors and he said that I have scoliosis and my mom and I didn't know what that was. Scoliosis is a disorder in which there is a side ways curve of the spine, or backbone. Curves are often s-shaped or c-shaped. This is known as idiopathic scoliosis. Girls are most likely than boys to have this type of scoliosis.
                     I have the s-shaped spine. My doctor told my mom and I to go see the orthopedic doctor. When I went to see the orthopedic doctor he told me and my mom that I have to wear a back brace so my back can go straight, if I don't wear the brace I can get a hump back and my spine can get worst and I'm going to have to get surgery and get a metal spine.
                    So now I wear a back brace. As I'm growing my back get straighter and better. It takes time for my back to get better, I have to do exercises that my doctor required me to do mornings  and nights. My back was getting better until this summer[ 2015] that passed I kept taking off my brace off cause it was to hot and I kept sweating, but I regret taking it off the whole time my back could have been better an now it just got more worst. I wear my brace to school, to go to sleep and pretty much the whole day, the only time I take it off is when I eat and when I take showers, also for p.e.  I go to the doctors every three months to check if my back is getting better by taking exrays. I hope my back get better and take this brace off soon.
