hi all:wave: ,
Yesretday i woke up in pain which is quite normal but along with my normal pain was pain in my right leg (which i never have trouble with). It just doesnt feel right and the only thing that i can think of that may be causing it is on monday when the cleaners were here i went to go into the laundry to change washing loads and one of them said to be carefull as the floor was wet in some places so i was stepping carefully and maybe:confused: twisted a bit but there was a loud crack in my lower back.... Im not sure if this has done something or if it is a coincidence that my right leg is playing up and paining now.:mad: I never realised how much i rely on my right leg.......
Im not sure what sort of response im expecting here but just thought i would throw it out there and maybe someone will have some advice.
thanks rachel

all I can say is ICE ICE and more ICE and I hope you're better quickly!

After my fusion, everytime I got up out of a chair I would hear a pop come from my low back, when it popped it didn't hurt but it did concern me. When I asked my doc about it he said there are many ligiments and tendons that run along the spine, when a person goes through any type of back trauma or proceedure/injury, the ligiments and tendons get out of place and frequently "pop" back into place. Not to worry unless this "pop" causes pain he says...Just my 2 cents:cool:

Has it improved any?

hi:wave: ,
thanks for replies. firstly my fusion was done in 2003 (my how time flies when u r havin fun:p ). since my fusion i have had nothin but trouble (in my opinion fixed nothing), things have now moved onto nerve damage as well as CES, BUT through all that my right leg has always stood up for me :rolleyes: (sorry my attempt at humour) Untill monday when i heard the crack.
Things havnt really improved but and my hubby wants me to go to dr today but i have an appt next week..... im thinking along the lines that maybe ...........................DRUM ROLL ................................. the leg is just crackin under pressure:rolleyes: (sorry silly mood this AM).
Getting serious though i think im too scared to go to Dr for fear of what he is going to say, I know that is negative and probably VERY silly but im scared of actually hearing the words.
I know this is a topsy turvey post but thats my mood this morning.
thanks again all Rachel

Go to the doctor...If something is wrong, the sooner it gets treated the better. If nothing is wrong you won't spend the next week worring!

I don't think it's silly to feel this way at all. You don't want to hear bad news. I've already decided (hope I can stick to this!) that I'm done having surgery no matter what, so I see where you're coming from - but you should get it checked out. :)
