Done Surgery For Scheuermanns Disease. Feeling Popping In Spine, Numbness In Back. Something To Worry About?
Hi I am 19, i recently had a surgery for Scheuermanns Disease fusing from my T-2 to my L-1. it is a little over 4 months since my surgery and I am feeling a poping along the sides of my upper spine where the metal rods and fusion is. I have numbness in the area and had other people feel my back. They say the feel something pushing up. Is this something I should worry about?
