You probably don't have an "extra" vertebra. I'm guessing you only have 4 sacral vertebra, correct? If so, you've got a very common condition.

Yep. Caused some confusion with my back surgery 9yrs ago, stupid MFers had to do the discogram and CT scan with contrast twice because they shot the wrong fricken levels. And guess what? Going in for another spinal fusion and/or artificial disc replacement in a couple months. I remind them about the L6/S1 thing every time now |

Many years ago my dad had a lot of back problems. During the xrays, exams, etc. the doctor told him he had an extra vertebra. He was told it was an inherited condition. Dad wanted all of us to be checked, too. All three sons had the same thing. I don't know that it hurts anything, it's just there. My younger brother also had parts of a couple vertebra missing and most of two ribs missing on the left side.

I think my hip/back pain is mainly caused by the anterior pelvic tilt. I guess it's more of a physical therapy type of issue.
