DS(9) been complaining of soreness and pain in his very lower back/glute on the left side for two weeks now. He said the pain comes and goes, hurts more if I press around the area or if he runs etc. It’s not stopping from doing whatever he wants to do but he is still complaining bitterly about it.
It’s very much on his bottom area as per where I have marked on the picture, so I thought it was a strained muscle. Very much towards the centre left rathe me than the whole glute area. I have been getting him to do gentle glute and lower back stretches but it’s not any better.
I was going to get a GP appointment but do you think they’ll likely fob us off? It’s just that I thought a muscle strain in a child should have improved/gone away by now.
