Pain near shoulder blade by rod

[Mmm319]

I have two titanium rods from a surgery in 2006. My curve was over 60 in the thoracic area and a slight curve in the lumbar. I haven't had much pain or problems besides general soreness and unable to sit in one place for a long time. However, this past year, apparently my lumbar (where there is not...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this group but wish I had found it a long time ago, what a great community and resource for those with scoliosis! I had Harrington rods put in 20 years ago at age 15, fused from approximately T1-L2 (don't know the exact numbers, this is my best guess/memory).

Hi everyone!

My name is Lauren (27)- and in July I underwent two fusions to correct my scoliosis (approximately 60 degree for both curves). Fusion was from T2-L4. I have been doing everything my doctor recommended as far as walking and keeping within my restrictions. About a month ago...

Well, my daughter is having revision surgery on Tuesday. I have to admit I an very nervous and want this to help her with her pain so much! She was fused by anterior surgery only from T-10 to L-2 on August 21,2006. Although the surgical pain went away, she was left with more pain immediately after...

Hi -
My fusion (no instrumentation) is over thirty years old, and about three years ago pain from disc degeneration and stenosis started. The lower fusion has held up well, so far, the upper fusion has lost 35% of correction. I don’t take pain medication anymore; everything I’ve ever tried...

I've had scoliosis and torticollis my entire life. I haven't known anything different and no one seems to think my pain is a big deal.
Recently i've noticed that my back is hurting more and more at work. I get a burning sensation and it's difficult to stay standing. I don't really know what other...

I have an S curve that was 26 deg. the last time I had an x-ray. My curve has not changed very much since it was found at 16 (I'm 28 now). The doctors found out I had scoliosis too late to try a brace, so I was basically told to live with it. However, it does cause pain in my lower back and shoulder/neck...

Is there any information out there on the SpineCor Pain Relief Brace? It seems like a great alternative to the regular Spinecor brace that I have. I am a 59 year old woman with idiopathic scoliosis.I haven't worn my brace for years as it wasn't helping. I just put it on today as I have been developing...

Went to the Norton Leatherman Center in Louisville, KY today, and I came back quite underwhelmed and dissapointed. I've had scoliosis for over ten years, with a mild curvature around my shoulder blade. I get pretty significant inflammation and tightness on a daily basis. The doctor told me that my pain...

Hello all!

I think I might have a dilemma. I was fused (almost) 2 years ago, and will be approaching my one year anniversary next month for my thoracoplasty.
Just recently, I have felt mild to extreme pain by my right shoulder blade/around where my rod is when i'm laying, getting...

Hi all,

Forgive the cross post- I also posted to non-surgical, but as I am on the line towards surgical and would like advice on surgery, I am posting here too. My name is Katey and this is my first post, though I've been reading for awhile. I am a 24 y.o. female with a 50 degree thoracic...

Hi all,

My name is Katey and this is my first post, though I've been reading for awhile. I am a 24 y.o. female with a 50 degree thoracic curve. The worst of it is between T3-T6. I have not had surgery and have not yet had a doctor want to do surgery, though I am leaning (haha- literally)...

Hi everyone,

I am now 12 days post-op and finally feeling like I can sit for a few minutes and type at the computer.

I was diagnosed with AIS at 13, wore a brace until 17, but at 31 years old my thoracolumbar curve had increased to the 50's and became painful. For surgery,...

As you read, this might not seem like a scoliosis question, but please take the time to read it because it really is. I'm just giving background information.


I am a girl and I was diagnosed with Scoliosis when I was 12 years old. At 14, they put a brace. It was at 42 degrees....
