Re: Re:Postop Fusion Symptom Questions

[Guest guest]

I have not been fused but do have the titanium mesh plate....and my " head " pops

so loud people next to me can hear it! I am pretty much convinced something is

loose in there, but we do not have enough $$$ to really get things checked out.

We did get better insurance, so I may try to get the scans this year....

Re:Postop Fusion Symptom Questions

Hi there -

I had the faint clicking sound as well and was told it is just soft tissue being

rubbed when the head is moved.

There is a lot going on back there - there is material that is placed to

encourage bone growth, not to mention the swelling of the soft tissue. I am

pretty sure it is normal. It will probably go away when the swelling goes down

and such, mine did.

I still have weird sounds that crop up and then go away. I have a lot of

movement too, I can almost touch my chin to my chest when I bend my neck'head

down and I can move my head from side to side enough to almost look over my

shoulder. I don't really turn at the waist anymore like I used to when I was

fresh out of surgery. But movement is different for everyone.

As long as the sounds are not loud and mechanical sounding ;-)
