Well,
The title kind of sums it up.
My DS had his MMR jab yesterday and was fine for a couple of hours.
But within 2 hours he was crying inconsollably. I had no idea what was wrong - managed to get some dinner into him and then put him in the bath.
It became obvious in the bath (he's been walking for about a month now and LOVES to stand up and play with toys in the bath) that he wouldn't stand and was in quite a lot of pain.
He slept badly last night. This morning he's beside himself. He won't crawl or walk and if you try and move him he screams. It is his right leg - the leg that only had one injection, rather than 2. We've tried calpol and nurofen but it doesn't work. He keeps trying to stand and crawl but then stops and cried. Its so upsetting - he looks like a lame dog. I wish I could explain to him that he'll have to spend some time not moving about until it gets better but he's too young to understand.
I have spoken to NHS Direct last night - they said it definately wasn't a side effect of the MMR and to take him to the doctor.
We have an appt at 11.30 today - but I was wondering whether anyone else had experienced something like this with the MMR jab?
Thanks
(Sorry for the long post)
