  • Rod Removal (SURGERY AGAIN!)

    Hey everyone.
    About 6 months ago I started to notice that when I sat down, there was a lump in the center of my back and it would rub against the back of the chairs. Well it kept progressing and I asked one of the docs I work for and she said it felt mechanical (the rods). I called Shriners, who did my surgery 3 years ago, and they couldn't get me in for over 2 months. Well, my appointment was finally yesterday and the lump in my back is a screw that created a bursa next to the skin and is resting on the tissues next to the skin. I also have a broken wire, so with all these problems, the surgeon decided that the rods, screws, and wires need to come out.
    I'm scheduled for surgery on February 3rd, 2008.
    Can someone help me with this? Is it going to be like the first one?
    Thanks.
    Matt
