Post Op Three Months: Intense Pain - Hook Issue - Need Info

[Guest guest]

Since the first week of school, when the high school did not assign lockers to

the students, my daughter has been experiencing intense pain. She has already

missed four days of school because of it. The surgeon believes it is the " hook "

in her upper back, which holds the rod apparatus in place. He says that they may

have to remove the hook with a " minor " surgery ... Anyone have any experience

with this? Please advise, if so.
