13 year old, back pain? - Back Problems Message Board

My 13 year old daughter is complaining about horrible lower back pain. She does get chest pains alot as well. It actually started in her upper back, down in her spine(which hurted as well) into her lower back.

She does have scoliosis that she is going to an orthepidic for, but does scoliosis cause this.

& She does have an anxiety problem, but could the back pain be from that?

Shes not very active, not the sports season so I doubt a pulled muscle.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

& I did forget to mention, she had alot of blood work. She has low cortisol level & calcium.

She's also a strict vegetarian.

Hi, I'm also a young woman suffering with scoliosis. I do have back pain, especially from sitting or standing too long, doing heavy work, or walking too much. I went to a chiropractic for a while to get adjustments on my back.. and it really helped my back pain to decrease. I went off of the adjustments a couple of months ago for financial reasons, but let me just say, I really miss them.

Hope she is doing well..

Amanda,

Your daughter seems to be suffering from what I would call impaired Calciuam nutrition leading to these conditions. You may like her to try a couple of dose of Calcarea Carbonica 30c. Calacrea Carbonica 30c is a homeopthically potentized version of Calcium and can help repair the Calcaium malnutrition. It should be available at any local health food store or on else on the web homeo stores. Hope this helps

Amanda, I would get in touch with your daughter's ortho. If she is experiencing increased back pain, etc.. the scoliosis could be progressing and/or additional issues going on in her back.

She is being treated by a pediatric spine surgeon I hope. She is so young, and nothing but the best is best in my opinion.

Again, I would get her seen as soon as possible. She is a teenager, with health issues, I would imagine that heightens a teens anxiety. Is she also being seen for this? If not, i would suggest bringing this up with her doctor as well. She has a lot on her plate right now.

You hang in there too. It's hard for your also. All the best. Please let us know how she is doing.
