I am not sure if this is where to put this, if it's in the wrong place I am sorry. I had my harrington rod surger in 1996, and had residual pain but never regretted the surgery. Since Thanksgiving last year some strange things have been happening and I would like to know if anyone has had the same problems. Shortly after Thanksgiving I started out with tingling in my left leg, going down, and then it developed into pain that was very sharp going down my left leg. Pain medications that I take for my back, or things like tylenol had no effect on the sharp pains I had in my leg. I had a bone scan under the direction of my orthopedist and he wanted me to have a myleogram and nerve conduction test but then I lost my insurance. During the time that has gone by it seems to be progressing, I still get the pains down my left leg and the numbness, and I get pain in the sole of my right foot.
Has anyone else experienced this? My employer does not have insurance, and I don't make much money. Does anyone know a way I might be able see an orthopedist and get the tests in the Atlanta, GA area if I am low income?
Thank you!
