Lower back pain HELP!!!?!
Question: Lower back pain HELP!!!.?
Im only 15 and I have been having some crazy lower back pain for the past 7 or 8 months. It all started when my back was a little sore when I was at school and in gym class I jumped off this rope from about 5 or 6 feet in the air and something happened because when I hit the mat I fell over and couldn't walk and was in a lot of pain with my back. I couldn't stand up so I just laid there for about 10 minutes then my friend helped me up and I couldn't walk. then I finally took a few steps and was walking a little. so I could barley walk for the hole day and if I sat down I couldn't get up. The next few days I couldn't really move around. Then after about a week I could walk but my back was still giving me a lot of pain. At the time this happened I was on accutane and it says that can cause back pain. I also got new shoes but they don't hurt my feet when I walk in them. It went away for about 2 months but it just started up again and it really sucks. What can I do to get rid of this.?.? Health Question & Answer

Seek medical advice. You probably have damage in your back that is not going to heal if you don't get medical attention.Health Question & Answer
Erm, don't get freaked out or anything, but your spine may have misaligned. That blow could have sent one of your spinal links to press into the spinal cord which could alter your ability to breathe, move, and function. I wouldn't move a lot because the link may press into your spinal cord and kill you. This is serious and go to the hospital and get x-rays. You may have moved in a way which pushed the link a bit farther into the central nerve and caused the pain. Or maybe your muscles were traumatized and have made a defense mechanism against another blow like that, so if you move in a way you did when the accident happened, it set up the defense, causing pain because your muscles were contracting. I suggest getting X-rays as quickly as possible and tell your parents/guardians about the newly found pain.Health Question & Answer
ICY HOT that pain reliever stuff, yeah that stuff works after you use it for a couple weeks but if it doesn't try asking a doctor what happened try getting an x-ray too. ( if necessary ) but that icy hot stuff actually worked seriously. oh yeah you said you couldn't walk for a bit something might of happened to your spine from all the shock your feet absorbed by the landing try massages too they'll relieve all those muscles.
