Done surgery for scheuermanns disease. Feeling popping in spine, numbness in back. Something to worry about?
Patient: 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? Doctor: Hi, it appears that the feeling of some thing pushing up, and numbness to touch may be common, for some more time, but it is prefered to consult your operated surgeon, when you have even a small doubt.                   I advise you to avoid weight lifting, and hard work for some more time.Thank you.
