Try alternatives: When you have chronic pain at this young age and your doctor can not find a cause it is time to try some alternative treatments. Consider seeing a chiropractor, physical therapist or acupuncurist.

Welcome to the club!: The answer to your problem and pain lies in physical therapy. Get a referral to a good PT office near you. Most insurances pay for a fixed amount of period, generally 6 months, which should be plenty to learn exercises to do them regularly at home or gym, 3-4 times per week.. It helped me tremendously and many others. Good luck!
