Although it might be possible to determine a herniated disc from x-rays, it is better to get an MRI can of the affected area. The MRI will give better detail of the injury and assist the doctor in determining if there are any nerve roots being compressed and what treatment is needed to relieve your pain.

A herniated disc is not easily curable. You can either wait for your back to heal itself (this will take some time) or if you can't deal with the pain, you should visit a spinal doctor for some local anesthesia.
*****Second answer: Do not let a doctor inject your spine. He could puncture the spinal cord and fluid would flow out. This happened to a patient I know. A herniated disk can be corrected with a back brace, physical therapy or if it is bad it can be surgically corrected. You need to see an orthopedic surgeon. Do not delay. A herniated disk can lead to further problems. Have your parent or guardian take you to see your pediatrician or general practitioner doctor right away. That doctor will determine how extensive your problem is and refer you to the proper orthopedic doctor for proper treatment.
