For the last 20 minutes or so of work, the hydrocodone wore off, and I waited until I got home to take more. I wanted to see where it hurt.
My entire left leg hurts. Down both the front and the back, the knee, and the top of my foot. I could put weight on it, but it hurt. Of course, there's still the back pain.
A lot of people have been saying "Ohh, that explains it" when I tell them about the herniated disk. I want to point out that the pain that I've been having recently is completely different than the pain that I usually have. Normally, my mid-back hurts, and it's spread through the entire area. Don't write off the scoliosis just because of the herniated disk. It's still there, and it's not going to go away.

Hi
I have Scoliosis and had my surgery in 1989 and now have a Harrington rod from T5 to L1 with a compression rod from T6 to T10.
I understand your pain and frustrations with Scoliosis as I have suffered for the last few years. The Harrington rod causes a loss of lordosis which brings the unfortunate flat back syndrome, I also have DDD in my L2/L3 discs and facet joint syndrome - this hurts the most.
I feel lucky to have only had my pain for the last few years but I know that the pain will not go away and may get worse the older I get, I am 31 now.
I hope your pain killers make your life easier and I wish you all the best.
