What Causes Back Pain In A Child?
Hi for over a week now my 11 year old son has been complaining of back pain. I can see no bruising or any sign of having been bumped. He says it hurts when he coughs, bends, twist. He does have asthma but has had a flu jab last week, where his chest was checked and was clear. He says it aches really bad down the top half of your spine, is it a pulled muscle.

Hello. I just read through your question.
Consodering his lung exam was normal, the most likely cause is muscular, as you say. Warm compresses will help. Make sure his is not lifting or carrying any heavy objects.
