I am supposed to be having my rods from my first scoliosis surgery removed. I am having them removed because a hook at the end of one of them popped off. It's only recently that I have been experiencing discomfort from this and so my doctor has recommended that I have the rods removed.
Has anyone out there ever had rods removed? If so, what was that like? How did the surgery compare to the first one? Are you glad you did it? How long was the recovery? Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated. My doctor has basically said surgery is up to me. If it hurts then we should take the rods out. If it doesn't then I'm fine. In terms of pain I'm sort of in between, it's not terrible, but it's there all the time.
Anybody who can give me some info, please help
