I went to the Dr today, having had x-rays following a lot of back pain. I had a spinal fusion in 1977 and the x-rays taken at the local hospital show that the bottom of the rod may have moved slightly, his rod goes from top of the spine to the bottom. I have been referred to Stanmore.
Is the normal treatment removal of the rod, or is there some other type of treatment if the rod has moved, what would the waiting list and recovery time be for this type of surgery? I am 39 years old.
I look forward to your comments
Many thanks
