I am only 16

I am only 16 years of age and i started having really sharp pains in my left leg. Starting on a Friday night after work. I work at a grocery store so i thought maybe it was just from standing but then the pain didnt stop. Finally I was in so much pain that I went to the ER and unfortunately they could do nothing for me (because it was not an injury). The following day i went to my doctor and told him about the pains i was having that first started in my knee with my foot going to sleep a lot and then the pain went up to my hip. He took some blood to check and see what may be causing it and told me I may have this disease or whatever you may call it. He put me on bed rest for 3 days taking Flexarile and Tordal every 8 hours. It worked for a couple of days and now when i take it I feel the pain for a little while but then it finally goes away. This pain is excruciating and sometimes it is so bad that I am in tears and can not move. Please if you know anything at all help me out… THANKS!
