Hey i'm 21 years old and just before my 21st birthday i started getting pain in my back at the time i thought nothing of it and decided to carry on as normal doing the things i loved doing e.g Cycling, Walking,Running,Swimming playing football and basket ball. I woke up on a friday with little pains in back during the day it got worse by the night time i couldnt walk i was screaming in pain. It has been going on for 8 months i cant do all my favourite things i just want to know what it is and if there is a chance of my back getting better without being told that an operation is more likley please help me!!!!!
