I recently had mri and nerve test to check for sciatic nerve pain regarding my back and leg pain. Mri showed three bulging disks. I dont know if this is related to pain I have when standing up when on floor and walking though. My neurologist did the tests.
When I walk I have loud popping sound and feeling in my hip area, also alot of popping and cracking in fingers, wrist, ankles. I know I have osteopenia and not sure if that comes into play into all of this. I have stiffness but not noticing swelling. The back and leg/hip pain started in Feb 2014, the popping sound about a month ago. The other popping sounds and pain in fingers started about a month ago as well.
I just dont want things to get worse and not sure if this is something that will if I ignore it. My neuroligist is sending me to pain managment specialist for shots in my back but the appt is not even set up as of yet and I dont know if they can help with this other stuff cause I dont know if its related. Thank you for your time.

Dear Friend.
After reading your query it seems that the pains and clicking sounds can be related to Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis.
I would like to rule out Ankylosing Spondylitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Since you are showing to a Neurologist already you can see an Orthopedician now.
I recommend following:
1. Xray Pelvis with Sacroiliac Joint
2. Rheumatoid Factor.
3. ESR.
4. Anti CCP antibody.
5. CRP.
This is my best opinion for you.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
