Awful lower back pain for 15 year old diabetic. what can help her?

See below: The patient is 15? If so low back pain would be very unusual and should be evaluated by a physician. If this is an adult, low back pain is common as we age. Try rest, heat, core strengthening exercises. If all that fails then see your pcp.

Back pain: The back pain can be caused by muscle strain, spinal stenosis, ruptured disc, nerve impingement ... The treatment depends on the cause of the pain. I recommend you trying exercise, massage, heat pads first. If your pain persists, you should seek help from a health care provider. You might benefit from a comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
