Broken Rod
Long time no post my scolio friends! I have been lurking and reading so even though I have not been posting I have been here. I has the most painful thing next to surgery happen this week, a rod broke while I was with a patient. It is at the L4 level. However it hurts really bad below at the pelvic area. I go to see Dr. Kelly soon to find out my options.
