We had a sledding accident. Im pretty sure they did a full trauma work up at the hospital. All sorts of X-rays. Couldnt they have seen something then? It all started after he started trying to run and stuff, which is why it makes me think its muscular imbalance?

Yes, I'd be very surprised if they didn't catch something more serious. The back pain should improve as his gait and running stride normalize, which PT can help with.
Pediatric lower back painMy son broke his hip 4 months ago. He was non weight bearing for over 2 months. His doctor released him 2 weeks ago. His PT said his left side is super weak and lost muscle mass. He has a slight limp which the doctor said would get better with time. My question is, when he tries to run eventually his lower back starts to hurt. Could this be just from weak hip/ back muscles or some kind of muscle imbalance throwing things off? We are keeping a look out for hip AVN but OS told us that would cause hip pain and groin pain, not back pain. Any insight be help.Please
Could certainly be the weakness in his leg altering his biomechanics. That said, how did he break his hip? If there is any concern for a back injury that went unnoticed, discuss with his doctor.
