I’m 23 F. I recently started experiencing back pain… oddly I think it was as a result of being in a Pilates class during which I slightly overstretched my back muscles.

Anyhow, the pain has not gone away for about a month and I am slightly freaking out. Now if I sit straight up and twist myself from side to side, I hear a grinding noise. Does anyone know why this is happening? I started noticing it today.
Of course, this is terrible timing because I recently quit my job and now do not have any form of decent health insurance. I’m interested in hearing any suggestions as to what my problem is and what remedies may exist for it (home remedies and professional remedies welcome).

You may have a herniated disk or a disk that has been compressed so that the bones in your spine may actually be touching in one or more places. See a Dr. This could be quite serious-or not. I’m just saying.
The pic shows your spine in the middle being affected by the disk which has become misplaced (herniated). This pushes on your spine, and if misplaced enough can make your bones (the spongy looking areas between the disks) actually touch one another.

You might have a little muscle pull. The grinding you hear is from your spine being out of alignment. You could get a massage that would help. Putting heat on it will help to but only temporally. I would start with a massage first and go from there.

Most back pain occurs when the articular pillar of the lumbar joints are stress by movement such as side bending and flexion. The grinding sound may be comng from the dysfunction of the intervertebral joints of the lumbar spine.Proper examination of the lumbar spine is key to reproduce your sumptoms and detect the level of lesion and determine the cause (if possible).
Treatment may involved soft tissue normalization and joints manipulation and corrective exercises etc
