Hi,
I have a question, I am NOT asking for a dx I am just looking for some input.
My 3 year old about 2 months ago all of a sudden couldn't walk on his r leg, he said his foot hurt. Dr looked at him said he thought he was OK just to watch him, if he kept limping or not walking in the next 1-2 days to call him. He was better the next day.
Well 4 AM, I heard him crying and I went to his room he said his leg hurt, I thought maybe he had a "Charlie Horse", from sleeping the "wrong" way. But at 8 this morning he cried when he tried to walk said his foot hurt and he pointed to the outside of his foot. He wouldn't get off of the couch all day and whines when he has to. We have an ortho appt @ 2 tomorrow but I am so nervous.
He has no visible signs of bruising, scrapes, cuts, slivers etc. 2 days ago his grandfather said he got into his chair and said that his foot hurt, he looked at it but didn't see anything, and my son went about his business.
Does anyone have any idea what I can expect? Should I be looking for something? is there something I should be doing?
thanks for your help,
