What Causes Randomly Occurring Sharp Pain In Body?

Hi I m Vanessa and I m 17 years old. Ever since I was in middle school, I have been experiencing random sharp pains, but I can t tell exactly where it s coming from, but it feels like it s coming from inside my butt. I would get it once in a blue moon before, but I ve recently been experiencing the sharp pain a lot more often. When I ll get the sharp pain, it ll feel like a shock, and I have to stay still for a little while because if I move the pain will get worst. I don t know what it is and I was hoping that you could help me.

Hi,

The location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on, If it is always in one spot and internal, then an internal congenital bone abnormality AND, at the base of the spine is one of the MOST common places for this to occur. An internal tail. Non-fusing of the spine (spina bifida), bone spur abnormality. The spina bifida can cause paralysis if it is a BIG gap in the spine and the spine gets injured. This is actually one of the more common congenital bone abnormalities. Mild ones are 1 in a hundred (formerly. those prenatal vitamins are given mainly to prevent THIS, so that 1 in a hundred number from 40 years ago is likely much much smaller). AND see if it is only when you sit on that spot in which case there doesn't have to be anything else wrong at all.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
