A member asked:
My friends back has been hurting he popped it for a while and he can't tell if it is spinal of muscle he said it hurts most of the day he's 15 doctor?

Probably both!: He's only 15 yrs young so he probably doesn't have any degenerative joint disease in his spinal column. There are spondolithiathis and other things to rule out and if he does contortions on skateboards or skis he can twist himself into a pretzel shape. He should be evaluated by a good peds orthopedist.
