7 yo with an on-off limp

[CrispyFern]

For the past week.

Not ill, hasn't injured it, said "oh yes it does hurt in my thigh and behind my knee" when asked but hasn't complained otherwise.

Is this a doctor visit thing or a wait another week to see if it goes by itself thing?

It is not normal for children to limp - see your GP x

Could be virus related, could be Perthes, could be something of nothing but best get it checked.

My dd2 had Perthes Syndrome, only sign was a limp. Wasn't there all the time. You'll need a referral to orthopaedics I would think.

Hope it gets sorted, but as a pp said, limps need checking.

If he's otherwise well I'd give it another week (just in case he twisted it running or something) and if not better then see a GP.

Limping child needs seeing.
