Lowe back pain in daughter

[shapleigh]

My daughter is 9 years old and has been complaining of back pain in lower right of back above buttocks. She says it hurts when she sits or bends. She has no fever, no pain in legs, no problem urinating or moving heer bowels. She has no pain walking and is sleeping okay. On examination there is no bruising but there is discomforting when I apply pressure with my hand. We have discussed what could have caused this and she says she was wrestling with her brother and he kneed her in back. I have no insurance but I am worried that it might be serious. Please help.

if her pain was constant in last 3 weeks,perhaps she need see doc,but I still think that's fine.
Clinically ,Sitting and bending pain mostly tell us ,the patient suffer from soft tissue injury not nerves damage.Anyway,see doc ,you are nothing lose.Take care.

I forgot to include this has been going on and off for 3 weeks. It bothers her most when sitting or bending.

if she have no problem urinating or moving heer bowels,you needn't too worry about,it will take time to recover.for adult ,they need six weeks to heal,young chirldren maybe less.
Of course,let your doc know.
