Disc degeneration

It is so good to hear these positive stories. I honestly dont think it makes much difference if we sit too much, stand too much, but I have found lately that walking does ease my pain only an hour every day and not power walking just walking fast enough to talk but not sing if you get what I mean.

Just thought you may like to know from an older Harrington rod patient.

Macky

Operation 1966, Fused from T4 to L3, had Harrington rods inserted. Originally had an 85 degree Thoracic curve with lumbar scoliosis as well but had a good correction.
Perfectly normal life till 1997 but now in a lot of pain daily. Consider myself very fortunate though.
