What Causes Lower Back Pain In Kids?
6 yo complaining of back pain lower back at times, upper back and neck at others. This started in Nov 2010. Also has trouble getting through the day without a complete meltdown. Has enlarged adenoids and frequent sinus issues. Scheduled for adenoidectomy in April. Back xray was negative. Lyme titer showed reactive for bands 23 and 42. Pediatrician says that is negative. My daughter says that she always feels like she is getting sick-like she has strep without the sore throat. Can all of this be a result of the adenoids?

Thanks for asking.Keeping in mind the information provided by you like negative xray and other tests I will consider adenoids as culprit.Enlarged adenoids can lead to disturbed sleep due to interference in breathing due to throat narrowing caused by them.This is termed technically as obstructive sleep apnea.The next day unrested brain and body can have multiple problems like sleepiness body aches.Adenoids enlargement also causes sore thriat.so yes this can all be due to enlarged adenoids.I hope adenoidectomy will cure all this.Good luck
