Why does my spine click and feel bruised? what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spine degeneration: Most patients with clicking/grinding sensations in the spine, along with pain such as a bruised feeling, simply have spinal degeneration, which refers to aging changes in the spine (i.e. Wearing out of discs, mild disc bulging, minor bone spurs, etc) - some doctors call this arthritis. The cornerstones of treatment are increased activity, regular exercise, weight loss, smoking cessation, diet.
