What Causes Grinding And Popping In Pelvic Bones?

I ve been diagnosed with osteoarthritus in my lower spine and herniated disks L4 and L5. Recently started having nerve pain in my groin which I know is associated with the disks, but when I move from side to side or lay on my side in bed I hear and feel my pelvic bones grind and pop. what is causing this and is there anything I can do about it. I m only 56 yrs old and active.

Hello,
It can be an arthritis. Other causes like ligament or tendon related problems also be ruled out.
Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.
An MRI scan is required to make a diagnosis.
Thanks
