A member asked:
I have two herniated disks at l4 l5 but my back has been cracking and poping a lot more lately and its extremely painful as if i broke my back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The popping: and cracking is probably due to changes in the ligaments or arthritis in the facet joints which are the actual articulations of the vertebrae in the spinal column
