Hei! How’s your walking? I see you asking about when you’re getting walking back to normal in the past. I’m facing the same problem and if very frustrating. I’m exercising daily but i see no improvement. I wonder how are you walking now, thank you  :D

I thought it would be Dr. Parihar but he refused to do this and said to go to the doctor who did the original surgery

It would appear there is a bit of a dice roll of whether a doctor will be willing to do this, I'm not sure the reason for the reluctance of some doctors to do rod removal for people who were not their patients (ex: don't want to be blamed for a different doctor's fk up?)

I thought that Dr. Assayag might be willing to do rod removal for people who weren't his original patients but I got the impression of the opposite from a call with assistants at his office, so I'm confused

The doctor that put the rods in is probably best to get them out.  Unless you want them cutting random holes in you trying to figure out the hardware and how to get them out.
