I have posted in sn too as my ds1 has dyspraxia and hypotonia (v recently diagnosed) but it may well be unrelated so thought I would ask here as well.
So, my question is whether anyone else's dc ever suffers from excruciating toe pain, particularly at night? My ds (5.10) has suffered with this on and off for some time and is going through a particularly bad patch of it at the moment, with frequent night wakings from the pain. He very rarely cries from pain but this is really awful for him. The only thing that seems to help a little is if I literally squeeze his toes tightly together. Yesterday morning he even woke with the pain in his hands as well as his toes.
I am going to get him seen by a specialist early in the new year but in the meantime any thoughts or similar experience would be greatly appreciated.
