What do u suggest?

Question

I am 13 years old and yesterday I had to lift one of those 28 foot fiberglass ladders to get a ball from the roof so I had to lift the ladder from benith it in order for the ladder to touch the roof (I lifted the ladder like the people who work on big weights). I only lifted it in less than one minute. I did't feel that the ladder was that heavy (although it was 28 foot tall) becuase it was made from fiber glass.

The next day, I felt a horrible pain by the tail bone area and by the lowest part of the backbone.

I only feel the pain when I sit down or bend my body. I wanna be tall when I grow because I wanna play pro BKB when I grow.

Is the pain a sign that I won't grow anymore? Will I stop growing? Will I grow improperly? Please help me!!!

Answer 1

No, tha pain has nothing to do with growth. Growing come froms your bones on your legs. I think you pulled a muscle down there or you could of torn it too. You best take it easy so that it can heal.

Answer 2

It sounds like you just strained a muscle. The muscles in your lower back are one of the weakest ones only because we don't properly strengthen them through every day exercise. This pain has no connection with a persons potential for growth. Our height is determined by our DNA. I'm not sure how much you know about the human body, but DNA are the genes that determine how we look. The color of your skin, eyes and hair, and how tall you will be are determined by your DNA. To get an idea of how tall you may become, simply look at your parents and grandparents. If there is height in your family, then you have the potential to be tall.

Answer 3

You'll continue to grow, don't worry. What you wont be able to do is continue lifting heavy objects due to possible sciatica. Apply alternating hot and cold compresses to the affected area and just to be on the safe side, get an x-ray. Always ask for help when picking up anything bigger than yourself, or heavy.
