I am 14 years old and have recently been suffering with severe pain in my back ,hip and leg. It's gotten to the point I can't even put my hair up without feeling like I'm going to cry. My leg burns when I sit down. And I can't bend over to even put a sock on. It's been like this for 2 weeks and just last night I had. A softball game and since then it's been 10x worse . I'm at the point where I'm going to cry.? Any tips or ideas what this could be

Hi Alexisnicole.

I'm sorry you're in so much pain at the moment.

Have you had an injury, or was there something that seemed to initially trigger the pain?

You need to go to a doctor if you haven't already. It could be something that needs treatment, or it may be something you need to ride out, but you need to find out.

A hot bath (if you can get in and out of the tub safely) or shower may help ease the pain a little.

Let us know how you get on :)

Hi there, have you had any injuries in the past year? And is it more prevalent on one side of the body? I have nerve damage on my left side of my body and I'm around your age, and I have burning, numbness, and shooting pains. For the back pain put a heat pack on it. Cold won't help. Have you ever injured your back in the past? If so was it the lower back or upper back? I hope your pain subsides!

Has your mom or dad taken you to a pain specialist Dr. I would talk to them about that first. Hang in there kiddo!
