DD, almost 2 year old, started limping quite badly about an hour ago. No fall, no bumps, no tears, just stood up and starting limping. She cant weightbare on that leg and it's so bad she keeps wobbling over with it. I've rung the Drs who said they would get a dr to call me back but as yet I've not had a call.
DD seems generally ok in her self if I bit miffed she cant run around and confused she keeps falling.
I'm not usually one to worry too much, more of a 'ah shell be fine in an hour' but something is making me feel a bit worried about this..

Only just got round to an update... DD pretty much running as normal now, only every now and again does she look a little 'odd'rather than limping. The GP called back a while ago. Was pleased there was an improvement and didnt ask to see us. Still to keep an eye on it, if it gets worse, even slightly, then a&e, if shes not walking properly by Monday call back and hell make an appointment to see us.

There is a new disease that is increasing a lot in children in the UK and USA. Its called Acute Flaccid Paralysis in the UK. Have a google and keep an eye out for other symptoms. Its a scary disease, its a bit like polio.

My DD woke up one morning unable to walk. She was 3 I think. V scary. We took her to the GP who was very unconcerned and just told us to bring her back in a week if she didn't improve! We took her to the hospital because we were worried and they were more helpful and did some x Ray's etc. Found nothing and the , about 4 days after she woke up and could walk again. Never found out what it was. Very strange. The hospital decided it was something "post viral", she hadn't been ill but (as we all know now) you can have a virus and no symptoms....

My son did this last year.

I’ll be honest I was terriers. I convinced myself it was due to a brain tumour as he hadn’t had a serious fall and he was telling me it didn’t hurt. 16 days he limped for. 16 days. He had an X ray which showed no broken bones.

Then one day he just stopped. No idea what caused it, and no one was particularly bothered (except me and my health anxiety)
