Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hi All My name is Bev and I live in the UK I wondered if I could ask some advice about Harrington Rod removal. I started experiencing problems in 2009 mainly below the fusion, but most recently the pain above the fusion has been terrible. At 1st it felt like a pulling sensation where the rod ends above the fusion (approx T3) but in the past two weeks I have had severe pain from around T3 area up into my neck and across into my left shoulder. I have virtually agreed to have the Harrington rod removed (which Ive had since 1984), but since reading posts on here I'm worried about what the effects will be after removal, i.e not having the support of hardware. Is there anyone that could share with me there experiences of having their rods removed, i.e those that haven;t had revision surgery at the same time. Kind regards Bev x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
