DD9 hip pain

[Longdistance]

Hello

Dd9 has been complaining of hip pain recently. Today it’s been sore that she’s limping and has had trouble bouncing on the trampoline.
A few weeks back she had a similar complaint.
Growing pain? Anything else?
I’ve just given her Calpol.
I’d like to speak with a GP or her to be examined, but with Covid and all that.

I would definitely get that checked. The doctors will have far less people than normal and if it’s making her limp you can’t really leave it.

Definitely get it checked out. My son has often had a limp after a viral infection - it is called transient synovitis of the hip. It passes after some time and is nothing terrible. But definitely get it checked because there are some things that cause a limp that need to be ruled out.

one sided?
get it checked out.
there is always a reason for pain.

Juvenile arthritis is often misdiagnosed as growing pains. Please get it checked out and unless an obvious cause, push for a referral.

Dd has something similar when she was 2 or 3. Woke up and could barely walk, bad limp and pain. She’d not knocked it or anything, just woke up like that. I took her to a walk in centre who wouldn’t X-ray because she’d not had an accident and they sent us to A&E. They checked her out (also reluctant to X-ray as they didn’t want to expose her unnecessarily) and diagnosed irritable hip and told me to keep her dosed up with calpol. It went away after a few days and hasn’t come back since (she’s now 7.)
Best get it checked to be sure.

My 9 yr old dd had the same - hip pain and a pronounced limp, which was worse after using the trampoline. I wasn’t too concerned but did take her along to the doctor to get checked out. She was sent for an X-ray and results came back to show she has Perthes disease. It is quite rare and I’m not saying your dd has this, but you must get it checked.

Def' get this checked out. Most times all will be fine.

I initially thought my daughters pain was down to growing pains. Her growth was well below the 0.4th. Turned out to be growing pains all right - of her fiberous dysplasia [benign] bone tumours inside her bones. She has been under a speciliast Orthopeadic Hospital's oncology team for management ever since.

Best to go to A&E for X-ray to exclude serious cause.
If is irritable hip then Trampoline prob best avoided until she's better

what was investigated when dc showed a bone lesion was Non-ossifying fibroma
which apparently is very common in children, but many will not have pain depending on size and position of it.
(dc turned out to have something else though)

Definitely avoid the trampoline - the rheumatologist who my son goes to (he has had the irritable hip quite often so he is under consultant care) said he can do absolutely everything apart from the trampoline.

I would definitely speak to the GP who can arrange an X ray to exclude potentially serious conditions.
