Hi
I had scoliosis surgery in 2007 fused t4-l4 and I am going in on Mar 17, 2009 to have all of the hardware removed because of a staph infection I have had for over 2 years. I have read that people recover quicker from rod removal surgery than the fusion surgery. Can anyone tell me how long you were out of work from the same surgery and the kind of pain med you were on and how long you were on them? Thank you so much.
