Chronic Neck, Back, Shoulder Blade And Spine Pain!!!?

November 13th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Pain

Hi!
I’m 15 years old and I have had chronic pain in my back, neck, shoulder blade and spine for about a year and a half. Two years ago, I had a stress fracture in my low back and I had to wear a brace and stuff, but the doctor said it healed.
During the time my back was healing, my neck and upper back began having pain. I’ve never been in a car accident, had whiplash, anything. The pain just came on. I had an MRI for my neck about a year ago, but maybe something’s changed. The doctors don’t know what’s wrong.
I go to a chiropractor and have been going for a couple of months, but it is not helping AT ALL.
Also, my back has been hurting even more than usual for the last 2 weeks, and when I woke up today, my neck and back have this sharp pain that I’ve never had before.
My mom scheduled an appt for another doctor, but it’s not until the end of this month, and I don’t think I can start school feeling horrible.
It seems like I’m too young to be having this pain. It is literally wearing me out. I have no energy and I don’t want to leave the house or do anything because of my pain.
Any idea of what this is?
Thanks!

    I’d say definitely just go see that doctor, because no one on here can check you out or see you or anything, so they couldn’t know for sure.
    As for waiting and school, I’d say rest a lot and take it easy, maybe have your mom write a note to get you out of P.E., take some Advil, and just wait I think.
