My 11 eleven-year-old daughter has developed a sharp pain on her spine/lower neck/upper back region. She doesn t recall doing anything unusual to cause the pain. She has been wearing a rigid boot for several weeks on one foot for a broken toe, creating an uneven walk. Could that be causing this pain?
The rigid boot and uneven walk is definitely a possible source of pain. Hard to comment without examining. However, a more likely cause is improper posture during sitting or lying down.
