so the more i do research, the more worried i become.
i had surgery (herrington rods) almost 15 years ago, when i was about 13 years old. i have no idea what my curvature was, presurgery, or even, what i was corrected to. i dont remember any of the specifics at this point. ive called the surgical doctors office, but apparently, DC law only requires Drs to keep records for 3 years. therefore, he no longer has them (weird). ive called the hospital and am awaiting to see what they come up with.
meanwhile, last week, my upper back hurt. i commented that, isnt it odd, that when my back aches, its upper ache. it was then that i found this site and began reading up on people whove had the surgery and how they are 10+ years later
yesterday i woke up with a massively sore back. lower-to-mid back, this time. i self medicated with some naproxin (500g?) which took the edge off, but it still hurts, for sure.
i guess there isnt much a point to this post, other than me being worried about whats going on back there. i feel like when i sit and stand, that im more and more crooked. but shouldnt the rods prevent that????
gah.
