Child Had Sticking Out Bone In Lumbar Spine, Causing Discomfort. X-ray Normal. What Could This Be?
my 16 year old daughter had a bone in her spine stick out on lumbar spine and it casts a dark shadow on it (like a bruise) it doesn't hurt when touched or pressed, but she does tell me she "feels it" when she moves and its uncomfortable. We had an xray done a year ago and doctor said there's nothing but the problem persists and she still "feels it". What could this be?

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Something which is felt in the lumbar spine but is not revealing in an X-ray can be further investigated by a MRI. I suggest you discuss with the doctor and get a MRI done to know the exact condition. Without an examination it is difficult for me to give any guidance.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your daughter all the best.
