I meant that at this point the brace might not be enough, and surgery may be inevitable. The highest rate of curve progression occurs during the time immediatly before and during the first year of menses. Therefore, if she is already at 40 degrees, she is likely to progress further. So YES brace her now, and watch for progression, but don't be surprised when it happens with or without the brace.

It's your body and your pain--no doctor should be holding out. Did these complications occur during surgery? while you were in the hospital? Then perhaps you might want to get hold of your medical records. The records are quite extensive but the medical records department can help you. You might want to start with the op report.
