My DD is a 10 year old level 5 and started having back pain in her lower back on 8/24. It hurts only on the right side.
She thinks she hurt it initially on an awkward warm up vault. She competed the meet. She rested her back for several days and acted like it felt better. Practiced as usual. From time to time she would mention some pain but acted like it wasn't a big deal. Would take a night or two off of bwo/vault/fhs and then say it was fine and resume training.
Fast forward to 9/12. She was at soccer practice and my husband noticed she was in severe pain. She was taking corner kicks. Every time she kicked the ball she was groaning and wincing in pain. She never said anything, he had to pull her off the field.
She has been doing conditioning and choreo only at gym since then. Today she was walking and tripped. She seemed to be in quite a bit of pain. She says it hurts anytime she runs, skips, or does anything other than sit/walk.
My husband thinks we should wait a few weeks and see, but I am wondering if we should get it checked out sooner vs later. DD doesn't want to go because she thinks it will mean full restrictions on all activity and we are still in meet season.
Anyone have ideas or insight?
