Poor Tyler can't win...his legs are killing him and he has been crying with them hurting him for a week. I took him the pediatrician first and they did an x-ray of only the right leg showing he had inflammation in the knee. Told me to give him Motrin and it would get better. When he was still complaining this weekend I knew it was hurting him.
He already had an appointment scheduled with Shriner's today since he goes once a year to get his legs looked at due to over inward rotation and low muscle tone. So today was no exception...they did an x-ray of his hips since that's where he screamed when they were messing with his legs. Sure enough they did the x-ray and they saw bad blood circulation in the ball in his hip joint and a muscle strain in the same leg. So now we get to do some stretches and try to get him to take it easy. Have you ever tried to calm a jack rabbit?? Near to impossible!
