That Stupid Back-Brace cont.

It turns out that I had a little bit of scoliosis (as a lot of people do), but the curve was causing a muscle or something like that in my back to be inflamed. I don’t really know what that means, only that I had to wear a back-brace. I hated that back-brace. A big white velcro-thing i had to wear under my clothes. It got really sweaty under that thing too. I also saw the chiropractor like 3 or 4 days a week after school. And I had to sit out of dance!
It went on like that for a couple of weeks. Finally, I could do dance, but I still had to wear the back-brace. That didn’t last very long. I was allowed to stop wearing the back-brace after one more week.
This all happened about 4 or 5 months ago. My back is mostly fine now. Every once in a while at dance if I over strech or something, I feel a twinge of pain. But I know how to handle it. I just don’t want to have to wear that back-brace again. Which I still have, by the way.
