I am going to be starting physical therapy for pain in my back from Harrington rod placement at age 15. I am 60 now. We are sort of in a dilemm with these rods. My orthopedic prescribed anti inflammatory which I can't take due to stomach upset. I would suggest for you to go to rehab to get off the Oxy. Seems we have an epidemic in the US with this and see if you can get something else. Good luck to all of us.

Yes, after my 2nd fusion I was put on Dilaudid after years of being on strong drugs. I had surgery at 16 and now 65. I'm off all pain medication and try to be active which isnt easy since I am fused from T4 to tailbone. Please get Mental Health Therapy. This life is hard and constant pain takes a lot out of us.
