Hi, my name is Miriam and I’m 16 years old. I am from Argentina. I underwent surgical scoliosis correction months before I turned 14 years old. I was previously operated on for Arnold Chiari Syndrome (a cerebellar cyst) that caused my spinal deviation. I wore a brace but it did not work. I have the metal rods only in the dorsal area. Each time I have a new x ray taken my spinal curvature appears more curved since the surgery. Recently a screw near the waist was broken (the rods were fixed with screws). The doctor said that it can not be re-operated and that I will not have any problems, but it hurts and I feel that it is rubbing or hitting against the bone and it hurts a lot. I do not know what I can do. I’m looking forward to consulting other doctors. But I’m afraid that I can not do any activity because of the fact that another screw or the rod itself breaks. I would like you to give me your opinion. Thank you! regards
