Q: 16 Years Old - Severe Back Pain, Spinal Cord Pain, Etc.

I have extremely bad pain in my back. It hurts when I apply any amount of pressure to my spinal cord and near the base of my neck. I don't know what's wrong with me. I haven't been in any accidents and I haven't been hurt badly, so it's not like I got whiplash and then ended up with pain. I don't believe I have scoliosis and I don't get numbness in my arms legs, anywhere. My back really hurts and spasms when I lay down and I really hurt when I wake up in the morning. I don't know if I have cancer or anything serious, but I was wondering if anyone knew what I may have. My mom thinks I may have a herniated disc or something but can that make your entire spinal cord hurt?? It hurts to sit, lift things up, pick something up off the floor, lightly bend forward or back, sit up straight...This is just ridiculous. Ii've had pain in my back for some time now but just in the past year it's gotten worse. I don't know if this is a sign of anything but i've also had issues with my bladder. Until my doctor gave me some medicine, I was going to the bathroom 10-20 times a day. I would get really bad sudden urges and it was hard to hold it in. I was on detrol la but I had a bad allergic reaction to it and my doctor gave me antibiotics for a bladder infection, and it seems to have helped, but my back just keeps getting worse.


Anyone have any idea was the hell is wrong with me?? Lol

Oh
When I lay down I also get a sharp pain the goes all the way to my frontal, lower abdomen and a sharpish pain above and under my chest--like near my ribcage and under my neck. I don't know if that may mean anything serious.
