Reply to "Persistent Sore Back"

Your son is at an age, with a growth spurt, where pars fracture and spondylolisis is common.  Some have even called it an epidemic in our area.

Not trying to scare you, but you might Google those terms, and see if the symptoms match. 

If so, I would highly recommend you visit a doctor specialist who can take X-Rays, and they may order an MRI.  It needs to be a specialist so they know what to look for, and also how to order the right X-Rays.  It is worth traveling a bit to find the right specialist for this issue if that's what it is.
