Im really confused because i have been
having problems with my back for almost a
year now. Im a 16 year old girl who is
very active and my lower back has been
giving me a bit of trouble It is hard to
actually pinpoint where the pain is but i
have a constant dull ache at the bottom of
my back which is sometimes stiff in the
morning and at night. It is absolutely
fine when i am training but afterwards it
is sore. It hurts when i bend forwards and
backwards too....My blood tests are fine
so....can you help me please ..??
At your age of 16, degenerative disorders
are uncommon, but other conditions s like
scoliosis (spinal curvature) kifosis
("swimmers posture") or lordosis
(swayback), could be present. You can
consult your family physician or an
orthopaedic doctor for a diagnosis.
