Dunno i say get it checked out. -------------- The following, has not be approved by the FDA or FT, it was not meant to diagnose,treat,or prevent any diease(s) Please consult a moderator or doctor before using any of the suggestions or comments.

At 14 your skeleton is still maturing and there are conditions that you can get related to this which need to be checked out by a physician. As carivan says, you need to see a doctor.
