Hi.
I'll introduce myself first.
My name is Alex and I am 16 years old and currently doing my GCSE's.
I live in the UK in the Leeds area.

Moving on to my problem. I recently suffered an injury on the 24th May while play fighting with my friend on the field. Things got a little serious and my friend kneed me in the back around the lower region just underneath the kidney on the left side of my body.
After going to my school nurse she sent me home in awful pain. Sitting down was awful and walking too.
I eventually got home and asked my mum to book me an appointment for the doctors on that day.
Finnaly got to the doctors and he said that he would like to take a wee sample for any damage to the kidney. Nothing was wrong with my kidneys thankfully and he prescribed me 8mg Co-Codamol.
There has been less pain on my back but I still have alot of harsh, sharp pains in that region.
It is now the 28th May, 5 days later and I still have the harsh and sharp pains.
Also at the start of the problem I have a numb feeling around the buttocks area and back area.
The pain happens if I am trying to get out of bed or i twist the body. Also if I lift something with my right arm
I am starting to get worried with how long it will take to ease off alot more. I have GCSE exams when I get back from the Half Term Holiday.


If anyone can help please reply to this topic
Thank you
Alex Hodge
