Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain On The Left Side

My daughter 13 is a gymnast. She has had back pain which has been muscular and worked with a physical therapist. Tonight though, she is describing a sharp stabbing pain on her left side of back. She has had something like this before. Any idea what this is and how to treat?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think pain may be due to strain. You can give tab. Tylenol, Diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Do regular physiotherapy after consultation. Apply ice locally. For severe pain concern with orthopedician for detailed examination.

Take care.
