Re: back braces??

Sorry to hear that your daughter is getting worse. As far as the brace
goes am not much of a tv watcher but I know for a fact that you can go
to some pharmacies and or health supply stores and purchase things like
back braces without perscription. I have done it for a soft neck
brace. They have all sorts of braces and gagdets to help people who
have disabilites to do everyday things. Take Care.
