What Is Causing Constant Pain In Lower Back?
Our son is 16 and has pain in his low back on the right side to the right of the tail bone. It started hurting on and off a few weeks ago. During the last few days it hurts continually. During his basketball game the pain became so bad that our son asked to be removed from the game. The pain feels like it is on a bone. What could it be?

Hello.For the symptoms that you refer, an radiography of the lower back is needed.For now, in my opinion, Diclofenac 50 mg thrice a day can be taken for treating pain.Please, go to your doctor to request radiography and for prescription.I wish you good health.
