Damian--3 months after the Rod Surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone. Well, it has been a little over 3 months since Damian had his

growing rod surgery. He is doing great. He has his first check-up at the end of

this month. He only complains of pain when he has been very active. He does not,

however complain of any pain in his back or around his spine. The pain is in his

shoulder. Over the past month, Damian's right shoulder blade (that's what we

think it is, hopefully nothing more than that) in the back has pushed itself out

at an unusual angle. I have posted some pictures to show the bone. Like I said

we are not too sure if this is normal or if this is indeed a part of his

shoulder. I will bring it up to the doctor, when we see him in about a week.

I'm so glad to hear Damian is doing great! I looked at the photos- yeah, I would be concerned and want to check that out. His spine does look so much better than before! If you want to, you may be able to email the hospital the pictures to get an earlier look from the doctor. Just a thought, but your appointment is coming up soon.

Hi ,

I just looked at the Damians pics and it looks like the rod has either

migrated, or has become detached at the top? But, Im no doc. Its def.

the rod....I think an immediate film is warranted at this point. Have

them take a lateral view, as well. Im glad that he isnt complaining of

pain. Please let us know what you have found out and try not to worry too

much.
