pain

My DD, 14 year old L 9 has been having some mid/low back pain on one side. I took her to get X-rays todays to rule out fracture. Turns out she has scoliosis. The Physician Assistant we saw said that this asymmetry is causing her back pain. Not even sure what my question is. I guess, does...

I am currently experiencing lower back pain and don't know how to resolve it. I have tried resting but it gets super tight which makes it more sore as i have quite a flexible back, but when i use it my back hurts afterward quite badly. Has anyone got any tips on how to make it better?

For a couple months my daughter has been mentioning that her rib “pops”. No pain. Any idea what this would be?

Has anyone's gymnast had lingering significant pain after a fracture or other injury has healed. We've had 2 experts confirm that she is healthy and cleared for gymnastics yet she is still in pain, and can do very little. Any experience with this. She is beyond discouraged, and way too young to...

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...

My 9 year old level 3 came home from practice tonight complaining of wrist pain. She said she was unable to tumble in class. That when her hands hit the floor her left wrist hurt and a tingling went up her arm. This started at last practice apparently but was worse today. Would you rush to the...

I want to start by saying I am not seeking medical advice :) more looking for general discussion...After reading this site for some time now I am acutely aware of the potential for injury both just freak accident and over use kinds. When do you "know" when to see a Dr? DD complained that her...

I've been having lower back pain for 2-3 weeks. It started as on and off but now its constant. It does go away completely with ice, stretching, or rolling but it always comes back within an hour. X-rays were clear and have and MRI next week. I decided to take the week off of gymnastics because...

We're back! My daughter had decided she was done with gymnastics almost a year and half ago and had been doing dance. Well, 2 weeks ago she suddenly started bringing up how she wants to go back. yay...I wasn't loving dance and I really miss seeing my munchkin light up from the sport, not to...

I'm a 17 year old level 10. I've dealt with many major injuries, but I currently feel like something new is hurting every week or even more often. Obviously being injured goes with this sport but I was wondering if anyone has any tips or ideas to reduce pain. I'm open to any ideas because at...

Hi, does anyone have experience with prolong wrist pain after a stress reaction in the wrist. My daughter hurt her wrist 8 weeks ago and it was confirmed a stress reaction via MRI. She still is not back in Gym because she is still having wrist pain while tumbling and doing anything that...

Not entirely sure if I picked the right forum or not, but DD has been having awful radial nerve inflammation / pain and we are waiting to find out the severity, but that takes quite a while over here. Which would be the best to use for nationals, if anyone knows, so she could compete without...

My neck always feels sore. What kind of stretches can I do? Is this normal? It isn’t always excruciating pain (it can be). Is there anything else you recommend?

My DD complains that her hands hurt during bars. We got a new pair of grips hoping that would help since her old ones were wearing thin. We got the wider ones and they helped for awhile. She is level 6 working giants and kip cast handstands. After a few turns on the bars, she complains that...

My 8 year old DD joined Xcel at the beginning of June. She has been in Rec level 2 for two years prior, practicing 1.5 hours once a week. Now she has gone up to 6.5 hours/week. She loves bars and is acquiring skills quickly. First practice she "got" her squat-on, second practice was squat-on...

My daughter had surgery to fix her broken radius a year ago. Her scar still hurts if rubbed or bumped. She’s finally at a level where (non dowel) grips are being used. But she can’t wear them because even with the wrist bands, it rubs and hurts. Any suggestions on padding that area to keep...

What kinds of things do you all do to prevent the dreaded phrase, "my back hurts"? We do tons of soft landings, we have changed our warm up and stretches, limited back arching skills and have a physical therapy assistant doing exercises with them, and yet it persists! Any ideas?

I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm not looking for medical advice, just experiences. I've been having elbow pain for a while, but recently it has gotten worse. I do plan on going to the doctor, but due to how busy they are the appointment it will not be for another two weeks. I know...

Recently for a couple of days, I have had lots of back pain in my lower right back. I know being a gymnast means you get back pains a lot, and I have experienced those. This is different though. Usually, my regular sore back is just a dull feeling around my whole lower back. Nothing that really...

My daughter had a slight hand fracture which was casteded for three weeks. She then took another two weeks off from gymnastics due to her wrist feeling weak. Now that she is back, she is experiencing elbow pain at the gym. Has anyone had experience with this? I assume it is an affect of weakened...
