HiMy 4 year old boy has had pain in his left foot for the past 2 years. I have been to the docs twice and have been told twice this is growing pains but all the research I have done suggests otherwise. the last 3 weeks he has developed a hard lump under the ankle (still left foot) he is also complaining his calf is sore. It not only wakes him during the night but he is in pain during the day and when walking has to sit down or be carried because his leg gets too sore to walk. I am going back to docs today but fear I am going to be told this is growing pains.....again. Am I just being an over cautious Mum? Any help appreciated. Thanks Karen
THIS IS IN MY OPINION NOT GROWING PAIN, BUT MAY BE DUE TO SOME SINISTER DISEASE.YOU SHOULD GET YOUR CHILD LEFT FOOT X-RAYED AND TAKE OPINION OF A LOCAL ORTHOPEDIST.THANK YOU.
