Well, a month or two ago, I pulled a muscle in my back while I was rock climbing (I was being stupid- toally my fault). Well, since then, my back as continually been hurting. I went to my doctor, and he just told me to do "back strengthening excercises" which, thusfar, have not helped at all. I'm getting really tired of not being able to bend down a lot or even jump on a trampoline- I'm only 16, for goodness sake! And I feel like an invalid! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to help get my back working right again?

Did your doctor tell you to go back & see him after a few weeks of trying these exercises? That's exactly what my doctor did, because I went rock climbing & ripped my tendon, so she made me try these tendon stretches & they didn't work, so I had to go back to her, and she had to recommend a foot specialist to go to & an MRI, so they can take x-rays of it. You need to go back to the doctors, and you need to get better X-rays [MRI.] He'll tell you the ways to go about doing certain stuff.

(Rating: 4) Thanks. No, he didn't tell me to come back, but if in another week or so, it still isn't better, I'll do what you suggested. :-)
