If you've been coughing alot lately its bound to happen. When I've been hacking my lungs out from a sinus infection my back gets pretty sore after awhile.


I need to know more of your symptoms to see if this is related (use additional details) but when I was 13 during the summer I had been doing a play. On the last rehersal day before the show I had this really bad pain in my back and chest and I left around lunchtime. It just got worse and worse, and basically I couldn't even breathe without searing pain from my abdomen, chest, back. Basically everything hurt but my arms and legs and head. I got a pill from the doctor that took care of it by the next morning, BUT during the 2nd performance that night (the time when the rest of my family was there) right at the first scene I got what felt like heat stroke XP I had to quit there (thankfully the others memorized my lines too and it wasn't too bad without me)

Then they got mad at me and im sitting their feeling like I got dunked in really hot water in a sauna. We had these very heavy costumes for one scene, I would've passed out on the stage (i get hot easily)

It had gone away, but then came back 2 weeks later.

I went to a 2nd doctor, waited for nearly 4 hours to get 10 minutes with the doctor who told me it was growing pains (because I grow like crazy) and instead of getting growing pains over time it like all slammed me at once XP He gave me a super uber pain killer and nexium to keep it from ripping my stomach apart (which helped my acidy stomach too) and I was on cloud nine for 2 weeks <3


Go see your doctor if it doesn't improve (if its not related to coughing way too much), it could be a simular deal. You're 11 and its very possible.

im also 11 and yes you should this is emergensey tell ur mom

you drink to much soda

if you are a female ot could be to do with periods
because ypu will probaly get pains in your back and
in your belly talk to your mum

Sorry to hear you are in pain!!!!! You might need to tell you mom are dad so they can take you to see a Dr. Have you been running and jumping around lately how long has it been hurting and can you remember what you where doing two are three days before you started hurting? It might run in the family if you can't remember anything that could have pop it.

You have probably just trapped a nerve or something, im 14 and I have been having back aches for years, but go and see your doctor anyway :)
(she/he will probably tell you that they can't do anything though from my experience, but i would go anyway just incase!)

A lot of children are having this problem due to using back packs.

Tell your parent/parents and have them take you to a doctor.

It could be something simple or something serious. Don't worry it's probably just the back pack but please tell and go to a doctor.

tell your parents first of all. then take some tylonal. it might be growing pains...you're at the age when you get those. if nothing helps have your parents make an appointment with the doctor.

do you have scoliosis or something.........?
