It has been almost two years since my surgery, and now my disc is starting to squeak. Has anyone else had that happen to them? It doesn't do it all the time, but several of my co-workers have confirmed it. I even took my shoes off and walked down the hall to prove it wasn't my shoes.

I also notice that if I flex my stomach muscles (like when you're pushing on the toilet) while walking, the squeaking stops. Otherwise, it starts again.

Tim, this is a new one for me! It's worth a phone call to the doctor. Either way, if you do find out what it is, I think I'll be surprised with the answer!

How were all your post-op XRays? Good placement?

Tim:

Sounds like you need a can of oil to carry with you like they did for the Tin Man.

I have never heard of such a thing and that is really odd. It also sounds like you are continuing to have pain? Where is that located?

I hope they get this resolved for you soon. This sounds bothersome.
