Post operative popping sound in the back after fusion

Hi Does anyone have any idea or heard of a popping sound, that causes no pain. After having lumbar spinal surgery it statred to happen to a loved one. I can't find any info of it on the net, and was wondering if anyone had heard or had it happen to them. as i said it causes no pain and is just audible. so if anyone has any info on it please let me know thanks.


Welcome

Hi and welcome to Spine-Health. Below is a link to some pointers our moderator Ron put together to help new members with the forum.

Has this loved one called their surgeon to discuss this? They probably should call in the morning to make sure it is not a major issue!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact (PM) any one of the Moderators here Priestess , Bruce , Paulgla, DiLauro

Again welcome.......Paul
