Hi Linda
Now I might repeat things but that is because I did not want to read what everybody had to say.......until I had posted my feelings on the subject.
Ten years ago I was told I would not be able to work again and that there was no more they could do.
After a year I thought stuff that and asked my consultant would it harm to try riding a bike, his comment "worth a try, so long as you do not fall off"!
I also then gave up with the hospital, or rather they gave up with me and started seeing a chiropractor and still do. At $45 (£30) a time, it is a lot of money but you cannot put a price on your health.
I have times when I do not go for 3 months maybe more but then I might get a flare up and he always sorts it out after a couple of visits.
You mentioned 'cracking', occasionally things 'pop' but there is also quite a lot of manipulating/massaging. A common problem for me is when my pelvis is out.
Like any other type of therapy there are good and bad, I struck lucky with mine.
Good luck.
