I 14 years old and have back and neck pain and serious discomfort. I am not sure what it is. I have seen a chiropractior and only gotten massages. They made it worse. Please help me figure out what this pain and discomfort is. I also get tinglyness in my arms and legs sometimes.

These are as follows:1) Take adequate bed REST with maintaining posture. Individuals who do not regularly exercise to build strength and flexibility are more likely to experience recurrent or prolonged back pain. 2) Alternate Hot water bottle or Ice pack can help to relieve most types of back pain by reducing inflammation.3) Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Chat Doctor.  You need proper prescription from your doctor. Taking muscle relaxants will also help.4) Exercise for Back and neck Pain : It is a key element of almost any back and neck pain treatment plan. You may contact with Physiotherapist regarding this. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
