  • Scraping/Popping

    Hi all,

    I'm at 5 weeks post op and for the past 2 days I've been having scrapingn/popping noises in my back everytime I move. At first it didn't hurt, it was just more uncomfortable. But today it has started to hurt and is a lot more frequent. Has anyone experienced this?

    popping/grinding

    I had frequent popping and grinding type noices that felt like they were coming from my lumbar area but it was actually both hip joints and sacrum. I am about 2 1/2 months post op and fused from L5-T5 and I still have pops that seem to be in the middle of my back. It's hard to say where it is originating from. You should definitely let your doctor know especially if something is hurting and progressively getting worse! Good luck and keep us up to date with what the doc says:O) Hang in there....it gets better.

      Hi Crystal Alice...

      Can you pinpoint the area from which the noises and sensations originate? And, what levels did you have fused?

      Thanks.

      Regards,
