Hi
Was wondering if anyone's children have experienced leg aches/weakness.
My son started almost a year ago with leg niggles/aches which has gradually got worse, started around thigh/knee area, the doctor told me it was muscle strain, it continued, but a paeditrician he was seeing for something else said growing pains but I took him back to the doctors who ordered blood tests to test for arthritis which came back clear so they went with growing pains. The pain has gradually been getting worse, mainly in the morning, he can barely walk down the stairs, taking him twice as long to walk to school and if he does any sort of activity he is limping afterwards. Most recently it seems as though his ankles (from what he says but could be coming from further up)? Are giving way, he'll tell me he's twisted his ankle coming down stairs or twists his ankle coming out of bed, he's hurt his legs/ankles a few times at PE at school (never happened before) and that he sees things on his floor coming out of bed but still tripping over the stuff (typical boy leaving stuff lying around but nothing more than the usual) I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I'd say it's maybe been going on from Jan/Feb so know it's nothing serious, aswell as being sore he complains of his legs being tired or weak, mostly on the left leg but can be both and mostly around the thigh/knee area and daily.
Thanks
