Just know that you’re not alone, and we gotta take it one day,sometimes one minute at a time, and pray, and be grateful for the things we do have.

That comment scares me because I have read so many horror stories about rodsor screws breaking, or getting instrumentation removed and having your fusion break. I wish i would have known prior to my surgery that stainless steel is stronger than titanium, but I have titanium as well, I read the reson is because titanium is easier to x-ray!! I haven’t had a break of the rod in my back, but I am still soon to apply for disability because I am in so much pain after surgery, worse than before

This has helped me better in telling those who are interested in the surgery I had several years ago. Thank you for posting this. I am just now starting to regain a better quality of life, it has been a long fight, but well worth it!

I had scoliosis, :l And it was too late for a brace, so i had two metal rods instead of my spine, it getss really annoying at times and i wish i could just bend but i cant ): I never will, but im glad the doctors could do something, i have mild pain every now and then but am much happier with my figure.
