my 15 yr.old has scoliosis.she wears a brace but ...?


Question:
with it she says her right leg burns and feels like it numb.this is her second brace what should i do?

Answers:
Take her to an orthopedic surgeon. She may have something in her bone structure pinching a nerve.

Other Answers:
ASK THE DOCTOR!
If this is the rod system that uses padical hooks and laminar hooks to hold the rods in place, One of the hooks may be pressing against a nerve root going to the right leg.
Ask your Doctor to check it out.
I also had a back brace and they can be very uncomforable and sometimes it did make my leg hurt but if you ajust the brace then it can help
I would ask the doctor to check it may not fit right for her.
