Is this normal aging back pain or?

Question

probably about 10yrs ago I was bucked off my horse and thought I broke my tailbone. I couldnt hardly walk for a couple weeks but the Dr said I just dislocated it. A  few years later another Dr looked over my back stuff and said I probably sprained my spine. 
Fast Forward to today, I can hear my lower back cracking when I walk with headphones in. My lower back hurts if I lay on my back on a flat surface, It hurts if I lay on my stomach, it hurts if I stand for too long and it hurts if I sit in a chair too long. Always in the same spot lower back(not my tailbone) I literally change positions several times a night because my back will start hurting in one position too long. THIS has all been going on for years! I also get sciatica nerve pain on the same side as the back pain when laying down or sitting.
Im 34yrs old now and just wondering if this is normal aging back pain or should I see a doctor that specializes backs?

Answer

My bf has worked in construction for years and his back doesn’t bother him like that. 
Getting bucked off a horse doesn’t sound too pleasant and it’s possible the first doctor missed an injury. If you were inflamed at the time of being checked out, it’s also possible to have missed an injury.

Answer

My horse decided to jump left without me on it, now almost 2 years ago. I was 'lucky' my GP took an x-ray, didn't trust what he saw and send me for an MRI. Turned out I broke my sacrum, which is not really visible in x-rays and often overlooked.
The lower back pain you describe with laying down, I recognise. The cracking as well (though I am older than you, so it might indeed be age 😉). I also had difficulty twisting my upper body: looking back I could only do by either turning my whole body incl feet, or just using my neck. Shoulders could not be disaligned from the hips.
Interestingly enough, after 8 months I still had difficulty walking, yet I could ride without any pain or cracking.
What helped me was physiotherapy. It was painful, but now I am almost pain free. So yes, I would recommend going back to a Dr. or if possible ask an opinion from a physiotherapist. Even if they cannot treat you, they might be able to point you in the direction of the correct type of Dr.

Answer

I would go see orthopedic doctor. Something doesn’t seem right.

Answer

Orthopedic doctor. Probably need an mri and emg needles and electricity to check for nerve issues. They may start with xray. But the mri checks the next level. And Emg the next. Wish you luck.
