I have degenerative disk disease l4,5 when i sit down and lean over i hear a click noise and feel the relieve of the pressure go away?

DJD L4-5: What you describe is quite normal. Position very often changes the weight distribution and the click may be due to slight joint movement or even the ligaments them selves. As long as there is no radiating pain then its fine.
