Question : Hello,
My daughter has been having back pain on and off since 10, she is now 15. Her family doctor does not seem concern but research is saying that most children that suffer with back pain there could be an underlying condition. Is this true?

Brief Answer:
Back pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
5 years with persistent back pain needs to be looked into. There could be a mild scoliosis it even just persistent muscle spasms. I recommend having her seen by a pediatric orthopedist.
