Arthritis pains; back pains?!
Question: Arthritis pains; back pains!?
I'm 13, and my mom noticed swelling in a few bones in my back!. Before i thought it was arthritis, I was thinking of consulting a doctor!. We don't have enough income to go, though!. But the pain in my back is excruciating, enough to drop me to my knees and scream!. I'm staying away from taking too much of an over-dose of aspirin, which makes me sick and wears off fast!. It hurts as soon as I wake up, and gets worse by the hour!. I really don't know what to do to make the pain go away, pain-relievers that I've tried don't work; Aspirin, Tylonol, & Benadryl!. Is ther anything stronger that I could take with my age!? Or should I go to a doctor!? Advice!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You should be seen by a doctor and many states have clinics for kids who do Not have insurance !.
Especially since spinal swelling for a 13 year old is Not normal !.
And a lot of aspirin & other over the counter med are very very dangerous in larger quantities !.
Until then , ( I have back swelling ) I have found that fresh ginger really helps !. I do about a golf ball size piece , chopped up and about a quart of boiling water over it to get all the fluid out !. It will have some serious bite so I usually put in honey too !. I drink about a quart like that a day and it helps !.
HOWEVER , this is Not normal and you should also see a doctor to identify What is causing this !.
Ask your school nurse , counselor for direction !.
Even tho it is summer , they have summer classes and there should be some staff there that can guide you !.
Or go to your local childrens hospital and ask for guidance !.
Praying for you
