Rod is broken but no surgery to remove it at this point.

After 8 hours of surgery (don't remember a thing), spent 3 days in H.D.U then went to ward. Spent another 10 days on ward (Mom with me every day haha)then came home (that was the best bit.)

After the operation I had a blood clot in my lung, which kept me in hospital for about 5 extra days. I still have occasional back aches but Im so glad that I had this operation, as it has significantly reduced my back pain.

I would recommend Harrington Rods to anyone

No problems since the operation; however my spine is not completely straight as my curve was quite significant; apparently the surgeon struggled to get the metal work in! Even so my curvature is not noticable (clothed that is!) to the untrained eye!

Even post surgery my curvature is still 60 degrees... but it is not getting any worse and I can walk and do most things. :)
