Monster had his x-ray today-his scoliosis is quite alot worse and his walking is terrible at times. He leans and lurches and just recently he has been swinging his left leg from the hip without really bending it at the knee. We are seeing the consultant in clinic at school on Thursday and I wondered what options we have. I know about braces etc but have heard they are not very comfortable. Has anybody any experience of early scoliosis treatment/intervention? I dont think he's at the stage of needing an op yet but it is very common in children with Angelman Syndrome. I really dont want him to loose the limited mobility and independance that he has, and I would like to go to the appt prepared. thanks.
