What can i do to help growing pains in my back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get seen: Growing pains is a pediatric disease, only happens in chidren. If you are having back pain, it is more likely from something else, like a pulled muscle or arthritis. If regular Ibuprofen and tylenol (acetaminophen) do not help with the pain, you should see your doctor.
