A member asked:
I have pain on the left side of my back near my spine. what can i take for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain in young: Young patients rarely need further evaluation for back pain as it is usually self-limiting. For mild symptoms, muscle pains are most common. Consider also disc herniation which may cause pain without sciatica. Stress fracture occurs in 5% of the population. If symptoms persist, then see your doc for a more specific evaluation. Treat with tylenol/nsaids, salonpas hot patches, pilates/yoga.
