im 17yrs old , i have constant back pain
where i need to twist and bend my back to
make it crack. the pain is around my
shoulder blade and lower back it feels
like a ball. i fear its a tumor or
somthing like that as i also have
neck/jaw/head pains. i fears to have a
brain tumor although people form the forum
with similar symptoms say its most likley
anxiety and stress causing tmj
i must admit i am under stress and anxiety
as i believe and still do sometimes that i
have a brain tumor along with my back
issues. i know this is not your usual ' i
lifted something heavy and hurt my back'
and i understand if you cant give me a
explanation thank you for everything

How about trying to stretch your back?
It's pretty normal to feel cracking as
your vertebrae adjust themselves. Do you
exercise?

Seeking Medical Advice Posted: 08-24-07 19:34pm
Hello Mike,
I truly hope that you will seek medical
advice from a neurosurgeon/spine surgeon.
PLEASE don't delay. I"m very concerned
that delay may/will make things worse.
My thoughts are with you.

Hi Mike
Sorry to hear that you're having this much
pain ....
so you understand it a little better, i'll
tell you a little about 'backs'.
Your spine is of your 'central nervous
system' and although you may have hurt
your shoulders and neck, it may feel that
you've 'hurt' your brain too .... as these
area's are all connected with one another
... but then, so is your big toe .... have
you ever banged your big toe, and felt
sick afterwards or got a headache ... all
the nerves are connected with one
another....and they all send messages to
the brain.
as Rich as suggested, see a doctor about
your concerns, and they'll give you
anti-inflammatories (to reduce any
swelling) and put your mind at ease....
Also 'the girlfriend' suggests, try an ice
pack on the area that hurts, don't leave
it on too long, as you'll end up with
'frost bite' but this will
reduce any inflamed muscle / tissue and
make it feel easier, and less painful ....
but please see a doctor ....
