Okay, so i just have a question (note im getting him into the dr monday)

I’m going to start by saying that no sane person in the medical would diagnose a child with leukemia for leg pains.

If the pain and fevers are mild, I would just wait until his appointment. If they get worse before then, and urgent care would be good option. There are so many illnesses going around right now, that ER trip would only make him sick.

@nap.queen, @doubleksmommy, Really guys? I’m trying to help this mom out just as much as she would have helped me word of advice read read read I’m not SAYING that’s what the young man have I said it sounds like that which means it could be a different variety of things..

@mamagunn.no.1, I never STATED THAT IT WAS THAT I SAID SOUND LIKE BUT SHE MIGHT WANT TO GET IT CHECKED FOR ONE THAT IS A EARLY SIGN OF OF Leukemia...you guys need to read properly before sending someone into scare

Don’t want to send you into a scare. But definitely get him checked out. A few years ago my niece was 10 years old complaining of leg pain and my sister took her to her pediatrician and he said it was probably just growing pains.. we didn’t even think that was a real thing.. she also had slight fevers with it. The pain didn’t go away and one day her legs just gave out. We took her to the ER and they ran so many tests.. and the pains started spreading ..finally they diagnosed her with Guillain-Barré syndrome. A condition in which the immune system attacks the nerves. Her body went into Paralysis and her lungs collapsed and she was on a breathing tube. Lucky though they caught it quick and medication reversed it and after physical therapy to help her muscles she is 100% okay.. we never even heard of condition ..I’m not saying your son has this because I’m not a doctor but when I hear fever and leg pains it’s important to get him checked. I wouldn’t run to the ER just yet but monitor the leg pain and see if he says the pain is spreading. Make sure get a full checkup.. hope he feels better soon 🙏🏻

Does your insurance have a nurse line you could call? They could probably give you a better understanding of what’s going on and ask you the proper questions to determine if you should take him in or not. My daughter went through leg pain but her doctor told me he can’t do X-rays yet cuz she’s too little. I know every case is different but I’d advice to call even the Hospital and ask to speak to a nurse at least for peace of mind

Yeah, i wasnt looking for a diagnosis, just similar experiences if there are any.

Try to get him seen asap

Just me being in the medical field ma just to be safe I would take him right now...because you never know what could be going on and like I stated you don’t want to push that

I would take him to the hospital you don’t want to push that..especially with a toddler or infant if he is in pain and acknowledging you then I would go seek medical attn then take that paper work to the doctors..

Growth pains maybe?

Won't explain fever but may be pain reason
