DD2 has had painful hips since she had flu a month ago. We have seen the GP 3 times and on the last occasion she referred her to the local children's hospital and 3 weeks later we're still waiting to be sent an appointment.
One hip is more painful than the other and I don't think they hurt all the time. She is often in a lot of pain first thing in the morning and it's always worse the day after she's ridden her bike.
It's hard to tell how painful it is as she has an Autistic Spectrum Disorder and doesn't always express pain appropriately.
Do the symptoms sound familiar to anyone. Should I worry if the appointment is a few weeks away?
