Brief Answer:
At the moment, No!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully. At this age, common causes of back pain that could be concerning are uncommon. The most common cause in your case is probably related to muscles and bones. Most instances require physical measures such as exercises to strengthen the muscles and address this.

In addition, avoid lifting very heavy objects and leaning forward excessively.

Should isolated episodes get too worrisome, you may take Tab. Ibuprofen 400mg at most thrice daily after food for review. This is safe even in breastfeeding mothers if you happen to be breastfeeding.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Kind Regards
