Hi, my toddler has been limping since Saturday. It’s more pronounced when he’s tired but he says he’s not in pain and he hasn’t injured himself to my knowledge to cause the limp. He’s also had really raised lymph nodes on both sides for a few weeks with no obvious sign of infection.
Took him to the gp yesterday who said large raised lymph nodes are normal but to keep an eye and his limp is caused by “cartilage growth” if he is going through a growth spurt but to come back in a month if it’s not settled. It’s been really bad this afternoon and he even asked to get the buggy for him earlier because he was too fired and he was literally dragging his leg at this point (he’s not used the buggy in months!)
FWIW: she didn’t check his leg, hip or do any obs or vital checks, basically nothing.
AIBU to get a second opinion sooner than a month?! Can’t work out if I’m being neurotic.
