I also Have scoliosis It is pretty painful but if you treat it right it will be better in a flash I would simply say I had to go to the restroom or I had a phone call or even I left something in my locker like maybe you Gym Shorts or shirt! I hope this helped good luck on you battle with scoliosis!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well, if it's the teacher who's asking, your mom (or the nurse) should write a note because you don't want to get in trouble for being late all of the time!. If it's your friends who are asking, you should just say that you were running late or that you had to go talk to the nurse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I went to a small elementary school and high school!. Everyone pretty much knows everything about everyone!. So I didn't keep my brace a secret!.
I was only allowed out of my Wilmington brace 1 hr a day to shower!. So I wore it during 8th grade gym!. I had surgery prior to 9th grade and wore a body cast for 4 mo!., so I got excused from gym for that year!. I had to go into a Boston brace again for 10th grade and was excused for that year too!. I finally took gym and health in 11th grade!. Which was very weird being 16 in class with 13 and 14 yr!. olds!. You don't realize how much you change/mature in those 2-3 years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I guess I don't understand why this needs to be a secret!. You've got the greatest support group you could ever have (a few non-supporters, of course) and you're hiding your brace from them!?
I'll accept that it is important for the time being!. I can imagine a couple of things to try although I think these are very hard and may not even possible!. Take less time changing and get to gym on time!. Another way is for you to schedule a study hall ahead of gym and use that time to change!. The last way is to get out of having to take gym!.
It would be sooooo much easier just to let people know!. Any slip you make over time will tell them anyway!. You will have to keep making up excuses and that isn't easy for an honest person to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
