Hi. I ride horses and have been for about 9 years. I ve been to chiropractors and such before. Had compression fractures, etc. I haven t been in about a year. For several months now I ve been having horrible lower back pain. And when I rotate my hips, I can hear a grinding noise. And if I do it jus right, it feels like a popping sensation and it sends a sharp pain to my right hip. Any idea what it is? I m going to the dr about it tomorrow, what question should I ask?
Dear patient as your daily activity suggest that you have a lot of stars in over your spine daily which could have caused your bones to degenerate and collapse and this could be causing nerves their to compress specially that popping feeling you are getting is making you diagnosis of nerve root compression very likely. So get an MRI done and see a pain physician with that who will give you some specific nerve root blocks and teacher you some physiotherapy exercises which will help you definitely. Hope my opinion woo help you.
