What is the cause and solution of back pain for no apparent reason?
Patient: I'm a girl and Ive just turned 14. My back continually hurts straight down the spine mainly in the middle, my posture is really good and I never wear backpacks. It doesn't hurt while I sit but mostly when I lie down it keeps me up trying to get into a position were it doesn't hurt also if i walk home 2 miles everyday and it hurts when I've been walking for a while. How can I get it to stop and why does it hurt? Doctor: Hello, I have studied your case.Most probable reason for your symptoms could be postural problem as you may be sitting for long time and lack of exercises.Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include- Spine extension exercises, Lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stayPosition for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.Some life style modifications to prevent pain– Take break every 40 min from computer and do some lumbar rotation, stretches, walk and get back to work. Sit with taking support to your back, and do not watch television constantly.I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.Hope this answers your query.
