My 10 year old boy has a spinal corset. It extends from buttocks to underarm it has rigid steels front back sides and its very tight.It is on 23 hrs a day. He cant bend, sitting is made difficult. How do we tell him he will be wearing it for many years?

I also wear a support for my spine, which is about the same size, (under the armpits, to the base of my spine), as I have a spinal curvature myself.

Is your son able to tell you if it's uncomfortable for him to wear? You should be able to get adjustments made to it, if it isn't comfortable for him.

Does he really need it on for that long also, i.e. when he's in bed? I don't wear mine in bed.

The first time I had my support, was at about the same age that your son is now. (I'm 35 now, and still wear one.)

Perhaps if you and your son get into a 'routine' of putting it on, each day, after a while, it won't seem as difficult, or strange to him.

Also, as your son grows, he will need to have new ones designed for him, so he won't have the same one all the time.

I hope my comments and advice have been helpful to you.

The corset is not uncomfortable its simply all of a sudden he has been made comparitivly rigid and feels the constant pressure of the corset and steels.
