I had one harrington rod fused to my spine at 15. Never had any pain from the surgery or after. At 59, all of a sudden I started having neck pain, and have a hard time turning my head without pain to the left. My scoliosis was severe. Arthritis runs in my family, including degenerative osteoarthritis. I thought I just had a kink in my neck but some days it is worse than others. One day I think it is almost gone, but then I woke up today and the pain is severe. I've never been diagnosed with arthritis. Can the pain I now have come on that quickly? The pain will shoot to the top of my skull, down my left arm, and throughout my neck. Sometimes I have to hold my neck to roll over at night because I feel like my neck will break. Any ideas? My surgery was done in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the time there were only 2 hospitals that specialized in Scoliosis.
