Answer 1

I won't tell you what I think it is, because I am not a doctor, but I strongly suggest that you see a doctor as soon as possible.
Yahoo! answers is not a doctor and most that answer here don't even have a medical degree, they just state their experiences. Any time you have problems like this, you need to see your doctor. I am not trying to scare you, yes, maybe I am, so that you will see a doctor.

God bless you, sincerely,, Juanita

Answer 2

Sorry but I think only a doctor would know this. How long has this problem been going on? Months, less, more? I wouldn't rely on people's opinions here, especially if it's been going on for a long time. Could be serious, or might not, just don't mess around if it's been a while and is annoying you or getting worse, should just see the doc. And about the person above me who was talking about osteoperosis, well what you described is not symptomatic of that condition, because although osteoperosis is when you're bones become brittle, weaker, they don't hurt, there isn't pain with osteoporosis unless of course u fall and break a bone; I know this because osteo. runs in my family and doctors have always told them it doesn't cause pain.

Answer 3

I know that everyone has already said this, but I feel as though I should reemphasize the fact that you should really see a doctor. I would hate to worry you, but there is no telling what you might have, if even there is anything wrong at all.

Bone Health: The Hard Truth About Brittle Bones

There’s plenty you can do to build healthy bones and maintain them as you age.

Our bones fight a never-ending battle against the causes of osteoporosis. Here are some tips for building healthy bone mass from childhood to adulthood.

Our bones fight a never-ending battle against the effects of hormone changes and general dietary and lifestyle factors—leaving both men and women with an increased risk of osteoporosis.

What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones that affects over 25 million Americans each year. Almost 80% of osteoporosis is found in women, although a growing number of older men are also at risk.

Healthy bones begin with childhood
Fortunately, there’s plenty you can do to build healthy bones and maintain them as you age. Children should eat three to four servings of calcium-enriched foods every day to build healthy bones. As an adult, it’s best to add a calcium supplement to your diet. Xtra-Cal® is packed with calcium, in addition to vitamin C and D, which helps absorb essential calcium.*

Soy also appears to benefit bones, replacing calcium-depleting animal protein in the diet and providing a great source of bone-building isoflavones. Our Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix, Protein Bars, Soup Mix, Formula 3 Personalized Protein Powder, and Soy Nuts with Cardia® Salt are great sources of soy protein–making soy both “heart smart” and “bone smart!”

Making bone health a priority
Take control of your diet, increase your activity and curb such lifestyle habits as alcohol or smoking. With regular effort, you’ll give yourself the very best chance of having healthy bones–no bones about it!

Answer 5

I agree with everyone in here who has stated that we are not doctors ... but that you should definitely see one. For that reason I, too, won't guess at what it might be ... but I would suggest someone who specializes in arthritis. Chiropractors can be great ... but I'd go that route only **after** having seen a medical doctor.

Best of Luck to you !!!

Answer 6

You should get checked by a chiropractor. Pains like that are not necessarily a sign of illness. At your age they are more likely a sign that your vertebrae are just slightly out of alignment, and a chiropractor can help with that.

Answer 7

It can be Ankylosing Spondylosis. Whatever may it be acupuncture is the only treatment eventhough you may not like.

Answer 8

You need to talk to a dr. about this. It can be caused by a lot of different conditions, arthritis, to name one. He can take blood and tell if it's that, to start with.

Answer 9

Talk to your doctor...this can't be diagnosed over yahoo answers.

Answer 10
