16 with lower back pain, how do i get rid of it?!
Question: 16 with lower back pain, how do i get rid of it!?
I'm a 16 year old girl and im an athlete!. I play basketball, and i didnt start to get this pain in my back until christmas 2007!. I dont think this pain came from playing basketball during the season, because i didnt really play much and i never fell down to the point that my back would be hurting!. When i was younger, if i would stand for a long time the lower right side part of my back would start to hurt and would only go away if i sat down for a while, and i still have this problem, but it is even worse now because i have lower back pain on the right side and left side of my back!. Sometimes if i stretch my back it feels like a charlie horse!. At first i thought i had kidney stones, but I found out that it was just back pain!. I dont know what to do!. I just want to be a teenager and have fun like the old days, but its hard now that my back feels like a old womans sometimes!.I wish this pain would just go away!. I only feel this pain when i bend over or try to stretch my back!.PLEASE HELP!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Start by going to your family doctor and just getting a complete physical!. Ask them to refer you to an orthopedic doctor!. They will probably do a series of x-rays to see if something is being pinched or if the spine is curved, bulging, or herniated!. This will give them a good baseline and something to refer back to if the pain persists!. The orthopedic doctor may than refer you to a physical therapist, many times by doing the correct exercises or series of exercises the muscles supporting your spine and core will strengthen and take care of the pain issues!.
