Hi folks. I have a 35-degree lumbar scoliosis that has never caused me any problems that I know of, though I've had a lot of odd symptoms over the years.
Recently I've been having a very noticeable but painless POPPING in my mid-spine (about ribcage level, I think).
It's a smooth series of VERY FAST pops, like something is shifting in my spine. They are not loud, but I certainly FEEL them.
It happens when I move, MANY times a day. Mostly I think it's when I'm bending or straightening and simultaneously turning a little, such as turning to remove or place something on a bookshelf (I work in a library, so I do that a LOT during the day).
Anyone have a clue what this is? Any cause for concern? I reiterate, it is NOT painful and I don't have back pain at all.
Thanks for any info,
Nancy T.
