Don't worry.: Everybody gets back pain and some time or other. 17 is young, but everyone gets disc bulges eventually. It is normal wear and tear. Sorting out causes of low back pain is a real art. These days the experts in pediatric low back pain are pediatric sports medicine doctors. Find one and get seen.
