What to do if i am 17 and have a back pain for a few months, ive had a mri scan and now waiting to see the surgeon.?

Stay the course: You are on the right track. MRI and spine specialist are the next steps. In the mean time, if your pain control is not good, see your regular doctor. They may prescribe you different medicine if they think it is appropriate. Avoid heavy lifting and contact sports. If you develop leg weakness or incontinence of bowel or bladder at any time, go to the ER.
