I'm 21 and when I was 13 I cracked the
bottom of my spine slightly and my 5th
vertebrae went out of place. So I've had
back problems from a young age and took a
good 4 years for it to feel "ok" again but
it will never be 100%.
The past 2 years or so I have been getting
pains in my front hips. It hurts when I
put on clothes like sox, trouser, shoes or
get in and out of cars etc or just when I
lay in bed. I'm not sure if its trapped
nerves as I used to have some. I also get
shootin pains down my shins and knee caps
but its not as often as it was. I also
have been startin to get back pains again
but not as bad as when I was younger.
I havn't banged my back or anything to
damage it again.
Any ideas.

it is likely that it is all caused by
these problems you say you have had... but
if you are having differnt pains to what
you had before you should still have it
checked out. it cant be fun at all!! and
shooting pains down your limbs does not
sound healthy. go to a doctor if you
havent already, and probably your best
option is to be referred onto someone like
a physio or something. back pain is
really annoying. and mostly cos it's so
hard to get an answer from anyone about
why it's ahppening or how to stop it. i
have tended to get back pain all my life
from flat feet. but lately i've been
getting a different kind of pain. it's
half in my back and half in my ribs. it's
been going on for months now. doctors
didnt even know if it was muscular or
spinal or nerve related. it got so bad one
night i had to be taken to accident and
emergency in tears to the point that i
couldnt breathe properly from the pain.
and the specialists dont know what it is
either. it's better now but it still isn't
away. so anyway. so cut a long story
short, i know this must be annoying for
you. just keep badgering people and if one
person doesnt know how to help you, ask
for a referral somewhere else. hope you
get it sorted.
