I have a rod in my back that is 1 foot long. I got this rod inserted when I was twelve years old. The reason I got the rod inserted on my spine when I was twelve years old was because I had a severe case of scoliosis. I actually had an S curve. The doctor said that if I did not have the surgery that I would likely have breathing problems as well as heart problems.
Suffice it to say I decided with my parent’s consent to have the surgery. Inasmuch as I was very young then, I can still remember the pain and suffering I went through for that surgery. Interesting enough I was pain free for several years. Then however after I go into my late 30s the pain started. In my forties the pain got worse. Now in the beginning of my fifties, sometimes it is downright unbearable.
Physical therapy is then the answer. With a location that follows physical therapy documentation I would feel safe attending it at all cost. After all I need pain free time now.
