Hi sutherlin, welcome to Connect. Thank you for taking the time to share with the community about your concerns regarding the Harrington rods.

I would like to introduce you to @suee, who also had Harrington rods placed in the 1970s. Suee may be able to talk about her experience with Harrington rods from a young age and some of the discomfort that you may be feeling.

It may also be worth it to read through an older discussion that took place in Connect regarding Harrington rods and scoliosis. The conversation has not been active for some time, but you may find some information by reading through the conversation. You can find that here, http://mayocl.in/2gXaQE3.

@sutherlin, how long did your physician say the shots would last?
