Guest guest Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Does anyone know of a Dr in Houston,or setx area who will see pt's like me,who have Harrington rods?It is very difficult to find someone.My original Dr moved out of state,so my fam Dr has ordered studies(per my req) every couple of yrs to check on the rods.I am 33yrs old,and had my rods placed at age of 14,which was 1990.I have done fine all these yrs,just had usual aches,and would take Ibuprofin and be fine.My most recent x rays(because of increased pain) show degeneration in lumbar area and bulging disk in my neck at c-4.My Dr gave me Celebrex to take to help with pain,so I took one this morning.I have tried Voltaren before,but it didnt help.I do not want to take " pain meds " .My concern is that these findings are new since previous exam,and he didnt seem concerned(Im guessing cause he's just a fam. Dr).I would like to find someone in our area to see,to stay on top of things.I have been having alot of pain lately,and it doesnt seem to ever really go away.I have all the symptoms everyone describes as " Flatback Syndrome " ,but have not been diagnosed with it.I appreciate any Dr's names you can give me.
