Good evening all. I’m at the end of my tether with worry. For the past 3 weeks now my daughter has been complaining of pain in the lumbar area of her spine. It doesn’t move to other parts it’s directly there but in one part it’s more tender than the rest. She has described the pain as a 4/5 out of 10 throughout the day or when she’s not doing anything but once she lays down the pain jumps to 9/10 also if she’s out walking she has to stop after a while as it aches with her and she gets dizziness. She’s been experiencing nausea and sometimes sick with the pain at bed time. She’s gone off her food, struggles to finish a meal with only a few picks if her food. She also very teary lately but this could be down the broken sleep.
we visited the doctor last Wednesday. They tested her urine and examined her. She also had bloods taken to check for ‘inflammation and markers’ they haven’t came back yet. I have to phone tomorrow.
on top of all these thing she has described to me today that it feels in her back when she lays down like when you have a stone in your shoe digging into the ball of your foot.
I can’t help but worry this is something bad as we don’t prompt her or add to what she’s saying. We just let her come to us.
Im praying this is just a growth spurt or something but deep down I’ve got this awful feeling.
