Have Pain In The Back Which Is Aggravating?

I visited a chiropractor just over two months ago regarding a dull ache in my left lower back( I had this issue a few years ago and it was sorted very quickly by a previous chiropractor). This time I can out of the 1st treatment and noticed that my right pelvis/hip was clicking/grinding as I was walking or whenever I would lift my right leg up. I went back to the chiropractor a few days later for my second treatment , informed them about the noise but they carried on with the same treatment. After this second session the clicking/grinding was even louder now. There was no pain just a noise which was unsettling and a feeling of weakness in the lower back area on the right. However, the last three weeks I have been feeling sharp pains in my lower back , I'm finding it hard to bend down, when I wake up in the morning my lower back it is so stiff. I can also hear clicking around the pelvis area on the left side as well now. I'm really concerned because it seems to be getting worse even though I don't seem to have aggravated it in anyway.
