What Causes Lower Back Pain In Children?
Hi there, my daughter (11) has got serious lower back pain which occured about one week sgo. I massaged it and it went away but it has returned with a vengance. She cant tuoch her toes or pin point where exatly the pain is comming from just the area. She did slip and land on her bottom when she went ice skating but that was the last week of April and like I said her first complaint was about one week ago. Do you think she has a serious problem?

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to trauma to back there can be injury to vertebra or sacrum ,you may need to do X ray spine and MRI spine.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is back pain.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapistfor help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
