My daughter has had so many medical issues in her life meaning a multitude of tests and medications that we deal with. All issues related to her stomach/digestive system.
However, for a very long time, she has complained of knee pain. I have often brushed it off as it’s not felt that significant compared to everything else. And I have also mentioned it to her paediatrician who didn’t dwell on it either. She was underweight, so I kind of thought that her body might just not be quite functioning right.
Anyway, she is now thankfully at a suitable weight for her height but the knee pain persists in both knees, on the inner section, from the inner left of the knee cap, up and over the knee cap. She says it mainly hurts climbing stairs and also running. She is now at a weight where I can get her into sports, but her sore knees are stopping her.
I am going to take her to the GP next week, but I just worry so much about this kid! I get anxious for every medical appointment and I’m sort of spiralling about what this could be?
Her stomach issues are likely unrelated, but we don’t have a strict diagnosis on that yet. She is trialling a treated for gastroparesis at the moment.
id be really grateful for any insight and advice. I’m just a worried mum, which I’m sure you can all relate to. Thanks.
