Both ds and dd have sacral dimples, but dd's seems a bit worse. When she was born it didn't have a tuft of hair, but now it does, a fairly thick one. She also has one odd hair patch on the left side of her back. Since she was about a year old she's had diabolical constipation. I did a bit of a google search on sacral dimples and found that sometimes they can be associated with odd bowel symptoms including constipation. . .but I'm just now putting together a potential puzzle of spine-related causes for the constipation. She's only 19 months old, so too soon to tell if she had incontinence problems too. She walks fairly well, though her feet seem to veer inwards a touch. But she's strong, and today walked, holding my hand, from John Lewis to Mothercare on Oxford Street--and could have walked loads longer had it been necessary.
Does what I'm describing raise any red flags to anyone else out there whose chidren have sacral dimple or actual spinal problems?
