Why Does Lumbar Vertebrae Slip Out While Sleeping Causing Severe Pain?
One of my lumbar vertebrae seems to slip out while I sleep. This causes significant pain at the time and leaves a bony protrusion of the vertebrae with my spine out of alignment. Usually it rectifies itself the following day as I get active. Thoughts?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It can happen due to weak back core muscles or chronic disc prolapse. Poor posture can also cause this. MRI scan will help in detecting cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
