Have Lower Back Tightness, Pinched Nerve Feeling, Cracking. What Could Be This?

I have lower back tightness mostly to the lower right sometimes minor swelling and a pinched nerve feeling; and lots of cracking/popping all the time; even if I am just standing and reach for something or move my back in any motion it always cracks/pops. What could this be? Should I see my doc? I'm hesitant because funds are tight. Thanks so much for your insight
