A member asked:

In had a period for over 2 weeks with lower back pain and my doctor can't see me for another week and ahalf. should i wait that long or find a new one?

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 without any symptoms. If symptoms persist, then see your doc for a more specific evaluation. Try nsaids/tylenol, ice/heat, salonpas hot patches.
