my niece is 15 years old and when she walks her legs bones make sound and it s very loud even I can hear it from long distance. Is it harmful ? She likes Ice skating and she always stay long at the ice ring. She said there s no pain but last week she had massive back pain. Can she continue play ice skating? Shall I bring her to orthopedic? thanks
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history. As the bones are making knocks sounds it is advisable on a safer side to meet up and or tho.Also, some people have too much laxity of the joints and such nice is common. If she is performing ice skating than it is not an issue she can continue the game. Also, in my clinical practice we teach some general exercise to strengthen the muscles where the sounds keep coming. It is not at all a dangerous situation, and it is just a normal musculoskeletal action.Also, for back pain she is suffering currently taking an x-ray will be good to understand the anatomical positioning of the bones. Treatment:Simple painkillers and exercise. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
