[|Human|] I have a ten year old boy who has been complaining of different pains on and off for two months now. the two most complained about places are the mid to lower back and pain in his right side just below his ribcage> Both are sensitive to touch and are reccurrent. Sometimes he goes weeks without complaining of pain then out of nowhere he wakes up at 2 am in intense pain and our dr keep telling me its strained muscles but im worried its more than that
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. Asteroid Osceola is common between 10 and 20 age groups. Night pain is common in asteroid Osceola which can be confirmed by CT scan. MRI with contrast of spine will help to know origin of back pain. Pain indicates inflammatory process or nerve compression. I will advise you to do PET SCAN so that lesion in any area of body can be identified. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
