Help! what could cause grinding in lumbar spine w/movement? l4/s1 fuse feb 2014. see surgeon next week just wondering about possibilities?

Varies: Several potential causes, I would make sure your surgeon is aware. One of the more common causes is from abnormalities above or below the fusion. If you have a nonunion of your surgery, that can cause similar symptoms as well.
