worked until i started to have failed back syndrome and now having a lot of back pain

yea. fixed me from a 65 degree curve to a 30 something. curve is still visible when i bend over and i dont have full lung capacity.

Fixed 88 degree curve to 18 degrees, but now degenerating? Apparently usually only seen in people 65+?

Had fusion surgery (T4-L4) w/rod in 1980. Enjoyed a brace-free summer and had a body tan for the first time. Grew 2 inches on the table. Lost some of height as things settled. No real issues. In a routine pre-op chest x-ray found out rod had clean break at about mid-point. Not sure exactly why this happened, but I did have a nasty fall in my kitchen a few years before.

No Pain prior to surgery, nothing but pain since surgery. Everyday pain, horrible debilitating pain.

Worked like a charm. Can't do gymnastics or jump on trampoline.

One patient has rods from T1-L5
Chiropractic Care after getting rods 15 years ago has begun to help the pain due to a reversed curve in her neck.

At 18 I had an anterior spinal fusion in the lower back--4 fused vertabrae. Initially complete correction of curvature, but settled to about a 25 degree permanent curve.

Worked wonderfully! Very little pain currently. I have the most pain when it is extremly cold. And I can feel the hooks holding the rods in place through my skin

I have 2 rods and 22 screws. I am 3 months out of surgery. It was an 8 hour surgery. I was in the hospital for 6 days.
