1 year immunisations

[Bry1988]

Hello!

I've just taken my daughter to her 1 year jabs, little later as she's been on and off poorly... she wants to be stuck to me like glue right now which is not a problem she wants Mumma's love, but my only concern is (which I am going to call gp about if it's the same tomorrow morn) that she does not want to walk? This is a girly who doesn't not want to sit still, climbing up everything, running around to point blank not walking and even when I try to stand her up you can see she's in pain... has anyone else had this with their little one?

Yes, it’s not uncommon. It’s a form of reactive arthritis. I think the GP called it ‘achy hip syndrome’ or similar. My youngest got it after the 1 year jabs, never before or since. It’s just an immune reaction. He couldn’t bear any weight and I hate to say, but couldn’t lie down either (we had to sit up all night holding him). It lasted about 48 hours and then was gone. It’s awful at the time but just one of those things. I’d offer calpol and ibuprofen until feeling better.

Thankyou for your reply! Been sat here over thinking, and yes she's had calpol and just plenty of snuggles❤️

She’s just had 4 injections in her legs, I always say to parents if they don’t want to walk it’s because their little legs are achy and sore it’s not unusual, if you remember the achy heavy feeling you get in your arms it’s the same for them, paracetamol and sometimes the bath is nice.

Always worth checking with a Dr but not uncommon a sharp pointy thing was jabbed into their leg. Last winter my mum ended up at the drs the day after her flu jab as she couldn't move her arm. She felt the arm tense as the needle went in arm. The next day it was much better and 48h it was back to normal.
They generally are pretty quick to get you in and rule something as a normal/abnormal vaccine reaction. My daughter reacted to the menB at 4 months. The following day we had a HV phone call, 3 GP appointments (2 phone calls and 1 in person) and then a paediatrician at the hospital. They would much rather see 1000 babies with normal reactions than miss the one that doesn't. There was nothing inherently wrong with the menB but it makes my daughter feel extra awful

Just had these a couple of weeks ago and my boy was the same, he seemed incapable of putting weight on his legs the day after. Calpol and cuddles.

Speak to your doctor if you have concerns though, always.

Yes I remember the jabs in my arms and made them feel very heavy! Thankyou for all your reply's, have been other thinkings it's great to hear others experiences! X
