A member asked:
I'm sixteen and i have a very bad backache. i went for mri and it says that my soft bone at my lower back is ruptured. what can i do to ease my pain?

Is it your disc?: It sounds like you are describing a ruptured disc, which is the soft disc that separates the bones/vertebrae in your back. This is a common low back injury. If you are not taking any pain meds already, you could try an over the counter anti inflammatory (follow the directions), use an ice pack covered by a towel over the area for 20 min. at a time, and lie on you back with knees bent can help.
