I have intermitant back pain and im only 10! It comes in and out and i wont have problems for long periods of time, but sometimes it just starts hurting. Its so annoying and im just wondering is it normal that i have pain when i am an otherwise healthy 18 year old male? Ive been to the chiropractor a few times but the pain will go away for long periods of time so it doesent make sense to keep going and it doesent seem to do much anyway. Thanks!

    Where on your back? Your kidneys or liver can cause back pain if you aren't eating right. I've had a hard time with that one, and I'm 23.

    You need to see a doctor about it. NOT a chiropractor. A chiropractor can only alleviate the pain temporarily, and won't be able to diagnose anything you may have the way a doctor would, and it could be a sign of a serious back problem that you should get treated sooner rather than later.

    I have it because I have a desk job - I am only 26. When I was a teenager, I would get back pain if I slept too long or sat in one position for too long on the couch - just remember to stretch every so often. If you have a cat, watch how often they stretch - there is a reason :)
