Apologies for crashing the SN area. I would appreciate your help. Could anyone tell if this looks like a symptom of a SN condition?
I am first time mum to DD, almost 20 months, who is completely disinterested in getting up from where she is sitting. I have taken her to the pediatrician who said she is lazy (?) and a specialist physiotherapist who said her muscles and joints seem normal but that such a 5-minute examination means little and that only I, as her mother, could see problems (???).
But weeks and months go by and she is still not pulling up. She started walking in December and walks fairly well by now, follows me around the house, but if she falls she falls like a tree (not usually on her bum but face down or on her side), and she cannot get up on her own. When she bends down to pick something up, it's mostly from the waist, with minimum bending of knees. In fact, she does not put weight on her knees at all, which is probably why she can't figure out how to get up rising herself on one knee.
Can anyone help? Does this sound like anything you have ever seen or heard of?
I am sorry to be bothering you with this, which will probably seem silly and trivial to most of you, but I am worried sick and feel the professionals are not taking my worries seriously.
