Hi there. this is my first time here. I am a little afraid of going to a doctor, so i wondered if anyone here could help me get some ideas of what could be wrong with me before i go. It is hard to describe but I will try...
I basically have a dull background pain in my back. sometimes it is in the upper part, sometimes the lower. When I feel my spine with my hands is what really worries me though. the vertibre are not in line with one another neer the top of my back. I have 4 or 5 that seem like they have slid off of where they should be. The only idea that i have found would be that i might have Spondylolysis. It is the most common with young athletes who play sports that can be hard on the back. I have played tennis for many years. I am only 18 and am seriosly concerned about what the implications of whatever my problem is could be. Any thoughts would be helpfull. Thank you.
