Howdy - I am now 8 weeks post-op and have a question. As I become more mobile, I have been noticing that my back makes little noises (in area that was fused). Before the surgery I could pop and crack my back like nobody's business. Now, post-op, I sometimes still hear (and feel) little pops and cracks. I am wondering if this is normal? Or, is it me messing with the fusion-process, in a bad way? I am wondering if maybe, although I feel great, and am able to do so much, if this is actually doing more harm than good by putting too much pressure on my healing back, so much so that it is unnaturally making these slight noises. BTW - I am still following my restrictions, no bending, no twisting, no lifting more than 10 pounds...
Any suggestions? Is this a normal part of healing, or something I should be concerned about, or worth calling my surgeon??
Thanks!
