A member asked:
Hubby was shot n every once in awhile he gets pain in that leg that is really painful (so he says). could this be because the titanium rods are expanding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The rods aren't expanding. He may be having pain from nerve misfiring, scar tissue, muscle or bone. Hard to say from this description alone. Talk to your doctor for an evaluation.
