understand why I don't like it? I have a brace for scoliosis and it hurts me when I put it on like I'm about to throw up. Seven though I've told my mom this she still puts it on tight! The lady who made it said it will take some time to get used to it and that you don't have to wear it right away. My mom said I want it to the lines tonight as soon as we left the place. She didn't even give me time to get used to it. We write argue every night about it, I've asked sometimes not to wear it but it only happened once where she didn't let me wear it. The other times I was sick. She thinks that it won't do anything if it not to the lines the first day. I hate wearing this brace it's annoying! I do wear it and I now it's important so I wear it for her. But it hurts so bad I cry. When my mom sees me crying she doesn't even ask what's wrong she just yells at me. But other than the brace we get along fine I help her with all that I can and she helps me when I ask and/ or need help. I love my mom just hate the brace.
 
I have to wear a brace too for scoliosis. I know how bad it hurts! Try to sit your mom down when she's in the best mood and talk to her. Or make her something homemade to try to soften her up. Then, ask if she can call the your back doctor and discuss some other alternatives. Normally I would have to wear my brace everynight, but after discussing the pain from it with my doctor, he told me that if it was causing me that much pain, I would only have to wear it on weekends or 3 days out of a week. So maybe you could try that, see if that helps. If your mom STILL doesn't give in, when she leaves the room, loosen the brace until you're comfortable enough to wear it completely tight enough. Hope this helped! Good luck!
 
I honestly don't know how to help you, I can't imagine where your moms coming from with yelling at you for crying. If you guys fight try writing her a letter or email that calmly (no caps or !!!!!) explains how you feel. No ones listens when people yell.
 
maybe she needs to get you another one that dont hurt, it might not fit properly
