Hi! I'm hoping someone can relate to having broken herrington rods that were put into help straighten my spine because of scoliosis. I've seen a spine specialist but he has refered me to a orthopidic surgeon. I'm in alot of pain . I also have pain in my neck from degenerative arthritist has anyone ever had their rods removed or knows someone that has. I would like to know if pain was decreased after removal of the rods. Thanks michele with one l
