Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a 19 yr old son that has scoliosis and recently playing a basket ball game he bent down and another kid landed directly on his lower back it s been 4 days and hes still hurting when he twists, bends ,or turns a certain way. He has had his gall bladder,& appendix removed. He has broken his left ankle once on each side the first time he shattered the bone the second was a smooth break he also used to take 21 mg concerta for his ADHD but has gotten himself off the medication, my question is should I worry about this maybe being an illness as to injury and what do u recommend we do about his back he s in pain mostly in the evenings
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, it would be advisable to visit a doctor and get an X-ray done. If the pain is severe then this can mean a fracture and an X-ray would rule it out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Fahim Sheik
