Hi. Have not posted before but really need some advice/reassurance.
DS (21mths) slipped and fell on laminate flooring about a week ago. He landed awkwardly on his rightleg/ankle and has refused to put any weight on his leg since. He has gone back to crawling and just holds his leg up and crys if you try to get him to stand .
Took him to A&E the day after fall for x-ray, doc thought there was a break but when attended referral appt at fracture clinic they said no .
Have been giving Calpol constantly for last week and not getting much sleep at night as he keeps waking and taking ages to settle. Took him back to hospital yesterday and they took another x-ray but still negative - whats going on?????
Anyone had experience of a little one not walking for this long? Just feel if not broken he should be starting to try using it by now? Maybe a week is not that long but just seems ages when he is so miserable!! And is so sad to see him back to crawling and rolling about like a little baby when he should be running .
