What is this shooting pain down my lower back and legs?

Home More advice Health

I'm 13 and back in August I was diagnosed with 17 degree scoliosis. I had very bad back pains on the left, lower side of my back, which is where my curve is too. So that is the reason of my back pain, but now I have a new pain. Starting about 3 months ago, I would get a very bad shooting pain starting in my lower back, at my spine. It would continue through my legs and literally knock the feeling from them, and I'd fall and immediately start crying cause it hurts soo bad. Its been happening more frequently now, especially when I bend slightly forward or backwards. It also takes a while to straighten back out after it happens. Does anyone know what this is!? Its terrible and it'd be really nice to know whats causing this, and what I should do.. Help..anyone?
