Hello, my ten year old daughter is a figure skater. On Monday morning while bringing her skate toward her head, she felt a sharp pain in the lower right side of her back. The pain is localized and continues to be sharp only when she disturbs it. She can still perform double jumps on the ice without feeling any pain. However, she is refraining from doing any spins or other movements that will aggravate it. Should I continue to treat it at home with ice and heat? What do you think happened?
