Bad Back Pain Help?
Feb 26
Hi I am 14 years old and I have had really bad lower back pain for like a couple months now. My posture is sooo bad and it hurts to try and sit up straight. It is really hard to sit straight and I always try to but I just cant. My shoulders feel really rounded. Is there a brace or something I should wear? I have been to Physical therapy and it has done nothing. I also have slight scoliosis. What should I do?? Sometimes I cant even bend over because it hurts so bad.
I am nineteen and have had issues with my knee for about six years. I don’t have a lot of muscle to begin with, but this winter is especially bad. When I first had my knee checked out, they didn’t find anything but a fatty tumor in the back of it, which shouldn’t have caused any problems. I had an MRI and an X ray, but they found nothing. They sent me to physical therapy, but insurance only paid for so many visits.
Now, several years later, after many falls, being underweight, and having a family history of knee problems, I am getting very, very tired of my knee hurting.
Every time I go up or down stairs, the knee cap pops. I can literally feel my bones shifting in my knee if I walk for too long. My left knee doesn’t extend all the way, and hasn’t for years. My right knee is well on the way to not extending as well. It hurts to extend it all the way. Sometimes I get a very sharp pain in my left knee cap, other times its just a continuous ache.
Plus, I have high arches in my feet, so when I walk heavy on my feet instead of my knees, it makes it worse. I end up with my hips hurting from walking funny due to my knee and foot pain.
I don’t know what to do. I don’t have insurance.
Please, Please give me advice?
I am in the military and have not had the best luck with the medical section. I am 23 years old & currently deployed. I have been having wrist pain for about 1 1/2 years and then about 6 months ago it started getting worse & worse and started affecting my forearm. I went in and did the physical therapy for awhile and then the Dr wanted to try a steroid shot. The one specifically giving it to me had to get guidance as to where to inject as he had never done it before. He injected the spot instructed but then took it upon himself to go above the elbow bone and poked in very quickly. Causing alot of pain for me, he pulled it out from that spot and reinserted it about 1/4″ higher. Now, the pain is so bad and strong I can barely even pull my pants up! There is significant swelling right where my nerve runs through the inside of the elbow and now the pain is all the way up to my shouler instead of just to the elbow. Is this serious or should I just let it run its course for awhile longer?
Please Help Im In Pain!!?

Ok im 16 and having this horrible pain by my right shoulder blade.Its between my shoulder blade and spine.It feels like someones stabbing me and is worse when i lay down.Also i have a dull pain all up my back into my neck witch is really stiff Like i feel like i have to crack it.I have had a MRI and xray but both are negative.My doc sent me to physical therapy witch seems to be only making it worse..what else could this be..what do i do
My daughter wants to play sports, but she is so prone to her joints popping out of place. We’ve spent months in physical therapy only to have her shoulder etc. pop out again by the tiniest injury. She is double jointed to say the least. Her skin is not stretchy though. Her doctor doesn’t have an answer. I don’t like her taking Advil each and every day for all the pain she is in.
I injured my shoulder 2.5 years ago on my job. I have had 2 surgeries on it since. —-Suprascapular Neoropathy and Sub acromial decompression.— I have no insurance and have paid cash for this. I have had over 3 months of physical therapy. I cannot raise my arm all the way. The only way I am able to use it is with pain medicine(Loratab 10). It really helps me get through the day. I am still seeing an orthapedic doctor.
I just had 2 mri’s of neck and back to see if it is coming from there(they turned up normal). I have seen a doctor for my chronic pain and he referred me to a pain specialist who gives nerve blocks and It’s going to cost around $5000 every 6 months –I cannot afford that. So if my orthepedic doctor gives up on me or refers me to a pain specialist I am out of luck.
I cannot live with this pain… I need a doctor to prescribe me pain medicine I need it! Not for drugs for pain. I live in Dalton Georgia-near Chattanooga. Please help me find one who will help me. Thanks!
I’m in college right now, a liberal arts major and I’m switching to become a physical therapist. I’m going to change my major to science and plan on changing schools as well. I’m looking at different schools and what their prerequisites are about PT.
I’m kind of lost as to what to do next should I get my bachelors in science then get into a MPT program or what?
Anyone who can help I’ll highly appreciate it!
I’ve had lower back pain since childbirth 2 years ago. The pain has gotted so bad over time that some days I cant leave bed. I’ve been to see 5 different doctors, including a chiropractor, orthopedic surgeon and a neurologist. I’ve had the steriod shots 2 different times, an mri and xrays… everything came back clear. Ive recently started physical therapy, it doesn’t seem to help it actually leaves me practically crippled. I dont know where to go from here, I havnt seen a doctor yet that knows whats wrong and can fix it. If anyone has any ideas or knows where to go from here, please help!
My left elbow has started to hurt. At rest it is an achey feeling.It also hurts when you palpate on the outer side of it.. When ever I try to strighten it sometimes it catches and I have to bring it back up and then slowly bring it down. When it catches it is a sharp pain. Also when ever I strighten my elbow it pops. Just recently it has started to have a intense sharp pain when I try to use strength in that arm.. I dont know what is causing this. What do you think is wrong?
(Also I am still going to physical therapy for my shoulder in the same arm for having a SLAP repair, i dont know if this has anything to do with this.)
Thanks.
