Popping feeling in spine (lumbar)

I do have a number of back problems... but I am wondering if anyone else has this symptom:

When I sit (for example in a recliner or in a chair with my legs on a ottoman) my back feels like it is popping or  moving out of joint? I am not moving - just sitting there but I can feel this popping,

it's not subtle at all. Almost like very large gas bubbles in my spine (I swear, it's NOT gas - so no jokes...LOL)

Anyone else experience a popping sensation in their back (lumbar)? If so, have you asked your doctor what it could be?

thanks for your response!!
