he jumped off a bunk bed yesterday, ignoring the ladder.
its not, nor was it then, swollen.
but he does not put weight on it and limps if walking.

take him to nursery and explain, saying they can call and ill collect if need be?

take him to A&E for an xray?

votes pls

I think I'd take for an x-ray.

SnappyLaGore · 28/01/2008 07:22

yeah?
even if its not swollen?

its a fine line between neurotic and careful isnt it?

I would get it checked out. 3 year olds don't limp without good reason-if it was not really hurting he would soon forget and walk/run normally.

It won't necessarily need an x-ray but it would be wise to get it checked by a doctor.

weeel,
ive kept him home from nursery, and he is occasionally running about happily enough with his little bro. he is still limping a little, but honestly, i really dont think theres anything to be done about it.
so i was going to take him to a&e... but i dont think i will. on balance im sure enough that it would be a waste of time/resources.
