Hey!
I am 14 years old (going on 15) and I had surgery last summer. Kids heal A LOT faster than adults do, trust me. My surgery was August 14th and my doc said I wouldn't be able to go to school, but I healed faster than he expected, and got to go to school. Sleeping is the hardest part after surgery, at least for me it was. You cant really roll, and if you want to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, than you need help. My parents just gave me a cellphone and kept their phone by their bed, so that I could call them if I needed help. The rods and stuff you shouldn't be able to feel, but there is a slight change in flexibility. It has been about 9 months for me, so I can't entirely say it gets better yet. As far as back pain goes, after a few months I think it feels better than before the surgery. So I hope that I could help, and if you or your son has a question, feel free to private message me.
