What causes persistent back pain for weeks?
Patient: My 15 year old son has has persistent back pain for over 2 weeks now and it's not improving, he says the pain feels like it's in his spine, the docs just said muscle strain but there's no improvement after 3 days of rest, he said the pain is changing from a dull ache to a sharp pain...please help!! Doctor: Hello,I had gone through the case and it might be slip disc or herniation of disc.So go for MRI of spine and then go for physiotherapy and treatment.Hope my answer will be effective for you.Thanks
