                        I have seen so many postings related to all the problems that come with this harrington rod complications that came later.  I am 47, had full length harrington rod, done in 1982, pain since that day, I have not been able to function for 3 years.  I too read a report from a clinic in NY in re:  flatback.  I called them, at first was excited & then backed out because it was state of the art technology that put me in such a painful existance.  I am working with a pain clinic.  Also I am in need of surgery on my neck for herniated disc.  I would love to here from via e-mail.
