(I'm 19 by the way)

I've never really had good posture so of course I don't have a good back. Also I played goalkeeper in soccer for about a decade and that position isn't good for your back either. That's why I never thought much of my back pain. Sure it hurt a bit but who doesn't have a bit of back pain? I really don't think anything is up but I'll as here anyway...

I guess the first thing is a few years ago I went to a chiropractor due to lower back pain. I had a problem with my T12-L1 apparently and after going to the chiropractor it felt better. I always had/still have some lower back pain though. I can't go a few hours without grimacing slightly at least once. It's a bit annoying but not a big deal.

A second thing would be this weird nerve pain I've felt. Again I got this a few years ago and it felt like a nerve on the lateral part of my leg was hurting. This was an acute pain that lasted for a couple seconds. Then about a month ago I felt the absolutely oddest pain in my left leg. It was a really quick, sharp pain in two places: one on the back of my left leg and the second on the lateral part of my knee. It lasted one or two seconds max then went away. This happened about 5-6 times a day for a couple days then went away. I could walk fine, it really didn't hamper me but I just thought it strange.

Third would be my hip. That is constantly snapping. I can snap/crack my hip like it's nobody's business. I remember I had a job interview not too long ago and when I went to sit down my hip had such a loud snap it startled the interviewer. It doesn't hurt, unless it's a really loud one then I feel it a bit but again, not a big deal. This also strikes me as more strange than alarming.

Finally this has been going on since yesterday and is what prompted me to post here. I have a unilateral pain in my lower back on the right side. I'm not sure what it is, muscle, ligament, kidney? (I know it most likely isn't but it's in that area) I can tell you it doesn't feel like the spine though, not like my previous lower back pain. The other pains were simply annoying but this one is slightly more than that. For a couple seconds I get a pain in that specific area. It's not very sharp but it's not totally dull either, not sure how to describe it. It does hurt though.

So am I just a product of my poor self? Have these years of physicality and poor posture simply led to multiple minor annoyances or can these things be related? I'm thinking the former but I figure this is an easy free way to get an answer or two. Also, I don't know if this helps or has any relevance but I can crack my neck and back something fierce. Not good, I know.

Oh yeah, and if anyone has an explanation for my old man hips that'd be great. That really weirds me out.
