I had my operation when I was 13 in 1992, I had a major curve in my whole spine although the Rod was only attached from the top to my waist and although a curve at the bottom they left this...
Happily getting on in life at now 27 and two kids later I have gotten increasingly worried that 'something' is going on in there. I get breathing problems commonly, like if i breath in too much or breath out too much i will get what feels like either a sharp pain or a deep pain in any number of places around my back or shoulders or ribs!
Sounds messy I know...
I am planning to go to the doctors however my local GP is CRAP and talk a lot of rubbish.. I would like to go there and tell them exactly what I am after but I have no clue.. the man who did my op was Surgeon Dr Edgar, well known in uk for this op, in fact I was the ginea pig that they first tried the rib romoval and fusion all in one surgery on! Anyways I know that Dr Edgar is retired now and the whole hospital I was at has closed... so I have no idea where to look now...
I get scared cause I try and feel my spine and I cant find it... I get paranoid its moved right back out again but I dunno til I can get referred properly...
Anyone from the UK that can perhaps give me some advice on who to see or perhaps just there experiences?
Many Thanks
