Question
Dear >>>

Hi my daughter was injured last week in a soccer game. went up for a header and someone tackled her from the legs she landed on her hip and since then has an area about 4x4 in her lower back that is extremely painful to touch to bend her legs will tingle if she sits still for too long was xrayed and they say after four days there is no break but can not answer why the consistent pain is there, chiro is concerned he will not treat her, what do we do.

Answer
Dear Chris,

I think you should seek a second opinion from a neurologist. Life with back pain can be quite debilitating by itself, but if her injury is worse then they suspect it may cause other problems. All I know is if it were me I would get as many opinions as I could until you get some kind of answer to your daughters injury that either leads to a cure or at least confirms what your doctors have told you. I am sorry I couldn't give you a better answer. I really hope you can find a doctor/neurologist who can help you.

Sincerely, Ken
