Hi all-
This doesn't happen alot to me, but just thought I'd ask since I'm a new post-op person. I don't feel the rods in my back at all. For the first 5 weeks, I never even felt a screw. Now, every once in awhile, I can feel a screw. Yesterday, one screw was bothering me at night after a long day (had pt, had to put the kids to bed, dinner, etc). FYI...I didn't do anything very strenuous since my sitter was here all day yesterday in the morning and afternoon until 6pm. Is it normal to feel screws every once in a while in the beginning (had my surgery June 8)? Also, I am wondering, after a year or so or even after a long time after surgery do you stop feeling the screws? Or do you always feel them, no mattter how long ago you had surgery?
Thanks, was just thinking about this yesterday and thought I'd post and get some info from your experiences.
