Need imaging: You should not have back pain at this age, so you will need imaging to identify issues. Have you done gymnastics, dancing or other exercises with forced back extension? A common cause of back pain in your age group with these activities is spondylolysis, which is a small break in a piece of your vertebrae(stable normally) that can lead to back pain.Need imaging for diagnosis. Hope you feel better!
