Back pain and arthritis?


Question by : Back pain and arthritis?
I am 17 years old and my Mother claims "Your too young to feel back pain!" Is it true ONLY old people can get arthritis? Because when i walk, my knee's crack, my right foot cracks (I chipped a bone on it 2 years ago by falling down some steps outside) and when i sit up from my chair or i get out of my bed my back cracks loudly. Earlier i fell asleep on the couch and my brother was playing video games in the living room and he heard a loud 'crack' from my back while i was sleeping and he thought it was odd. The only thing that doesn't crack on my body is my neck. Sometimes it hurts too much. Sometimes i think about killing myself because no one will help me and the pain can be unbearable on rainy days (Literally!) . I'd ask for pain medication such as vicodin (I have been given it before for my foot and it did WONDERS! I felt slight discomfort and it was tolerable after i took it) but i hear that's what they call a "RED FLAG" (Suspicious). Could i get my back X-Rayed to prove i am in pain? Can teenagers even get arthitis?

(Also my fingers like..i don't know how to explain it. Sometimes my fingers will go completly STIFF and i cannot move them.)

Someone please help...what should i do? And don't tell me to do fricking Yoga, I've tried it all!


Also, My Mom and me were in a bad car accident when i was a baby. Could that of affected me and could that be the cause of my back pain? What should i do? No one will help me, my mother doesn't do shit for me......She won't even take me to the hospital if I'm sick. She'll just say I'm being melodramatic when I'm not! It hurts! I have a LOW threshold for pain!!
God damn it, i CANT do Yoga (I cannot physically!!) and i don't want any sites linking to 'tremedol' i don't want pills illegally and i don't want them to get high, i am in PAIN and i want a real answer. Just please someone, answer my question..I can't take this pain anymore...
