Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain Caused By Osteopenia

Can be due to broken rod or osteopenia,
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The persistent pain at the site of surgery can be due to osteopenia. If the implant / rod has broken and the graft site is showing a good healing then the rod can be taken out. It will give you some pain relief. Increasing the dosage or frequency of norco is not an option.
Do consult your orthopedician and discuss about removing the broken rod. Do continue taking calcium supplements and a hot compress in the area.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Fresh X-ray will help. It can eb removed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The broken rod can be removed from 2 small incisions on either side of the rod. Another X-ray will help in locating the exact position of the rod.
The implants can break due to undue stress at wrong site, inappropriate size or loosening of the implant.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
