### input:
My Daughter is 17 and is now experiencing painful popping and grinding feeling in her low back. She had an xray and the image according to radiology showed a L5 pars defect. Had an appointment with orthopedic he spent about 10 minutes during the examine said the xray looks nornal did a second xray and normal, told her to start running and doing core exercises for strenghthening. She tried, but to painful. Now she is begininng to miss school because of back pain and we are seeking a second opinion. Are there any specific x rays (flexation) or imaginging we should request.

### output:

I suggest you to go ahead with MRI of back (lumbar)spine and check the report in case if there is a severe damage or degeneration going on in spine then take a view with orthopedic doctor and if there is no much problem detected in MRI scan also then I recommend you to visit a physiotherapist. Here with physiotherapy treatment it will help to relax the soft tissues as well as it will also help to reduce pain. Physiotherapist will also suggest for different kind of back exercises like strengthening, stretching twisting, and combinations of all this exercises will again help her to increase the strength and stamina of her back. Here you are also talking about the constipation problem, I suggest asking for regulating her food habits, like have more of vegetables and fruits in her diet.  Keep your breakfast good, lunch average and dinner minimum before 8 p.m. Also do regular walking before going to sleep for at least 15 minutes. All this in combination will help her so just ask her to follow and if there is any issue post it again here or talk to your available specialist. Take care.
