@44PuppyDog oh my gosh, that's intense. I hope she's okay!

@44PuppyDog Your orthopedist or physical therapist will tell you which exercises to do. Definitely, DEFINITELY do them! I'm having some issues right now because I didn't do mine regularly.

@44PuppyDog oh (i think my last question) what are the excersizes? i don't want to have a weak back (i only have to wear it for 16 hours

@AwakeWithTheDawn I know a girl and she has 90. She had surgery and then a brace and people signed it (she was born with really weak muscles though so she is in a wheelchair) thanks for your help with all my questions!!!!!! if I have any more I know who to come to :D

@44PuppyDog yup you can sleep with it. Read the description box for some tips about it. Once you've been wearing the brace for a while your body molds to it, and everything (including sleeping) is just a lot easier.

@AwakeWithTheDawn all right here comes a new load of questions. Can u sleep in it? (im nervous so thats yu i have all these questions)
They told me that it doesn't come with a seamless undershirt and told me to order one from sugar lips. I would much rather them get one from them but they said it is not included with the brace and I should just use a mens undershirt. I just want to order one before it comes in. Did you use a regular undershirt like the one in the video. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@ljgwjr1 Ah that's really tough! :( The hospital I went to had seamless undershirts that we bought from them. The one I'm wearing in the vid has seams-- so I guess sugar lips is your best bet then.

Do you have any suggestions on what type of shirt to wear underneath the brace. My daughter will be getting her brace in 2 weeks and we have been looking for a seamless body sock. Do you have any recommendations? Do you know anything about sugar lips body socks? What did you wear under the shirt?

@ljgwjr1 I haven't heard of sugar-lips body socks. When I got my brace they gave me a cotton seamless undershirt that's specifically designed for boston braces. I'd ask her orthopedist/doctor about it, because I can't imagine they'd expect you to find one on your own. I wish you both luck!
