Hi everyone...!

I've been having problems with my back for around a year now. Im a 16 year old female and what it is, is my lower back. Its like a dull ache at the bottom of my back and its constantly there apart from when i am exercising. It is sometimes stiff in the morning and at night. It is ok when i am running and playing football, but afterwarRAB it hurts. I find that straight leg raises hurt and it hurts when i bend forward and backwarRAB. I had a really bad flare up in april last year which the doctor diagnosed as a severe muscle strain but it hurt months before it happened. However my blood tests are clear so does anybody have and advice or know what it could be??

Thanks xx
 
The only way to find out what is going on is to have a MRI. This shows the soft tissues in addition to the bony structures.

You might have spondylolisthesis which is a condition that you could have been born with. In short it is where one vertebra slips across the vertebra beneath it. This usually results in a pinching of the sciatic nerve that runs through the spinal column at that point. It doesn't happen all the time...just when you move a certain way. You can read more about it online.

I'm sure there are many other conditions that could be causing your pain...hopefully something simple!!

Good luck to you....

xx MM;)
