WoW..I am responding to this NOW, as should you...Take the time to read no more...A young Lady I know had her 3 yr old son begin with the very issues you're speaking of, not even being able to get to his own new B-Day toys..he couldn't walk..he couldn't crawl due to the pain he was in. We urged her to take him in, Babes just don't hurt like that...I strongly felt there's something wrong here, wondering if he had somehow fallen and broken bones...Finally, he was taken into the hospital in Portland OR..a great place for healing, PERIOD, not to mention DIAGNOSTICS!! He had Leukemia...this type of pain, ability to eat, etc. being a classical symptom; later learned from the Pediatric Oncologists...He is fine today, but take your son in NOW..not in a few, or tomorrow, or whatever..NOW!! God Bless and watch over him and your family too, and may it be something lesser of this evil.....best to be SAFE...Hugs & Prayers for all
Take him to the doctor.
Your best help is gonna be from th Dr. why would you even waist the time going on here instead of taking him straight to the Dr.? GET A MOVE ON!!! This is you baby ur talking about.
Are you up for some experimentation?
Read this http://www.helium.com/tm/148271 and then present it like it's a game to him.
I wonder if its his legs that hurt or stomach cramp type of issue. If he is such pain he can't walk, you need to have him seen at a clinic or the ER or your doctor.
I had the same problems growing up. My suggestion is to get him checked for juvenile arthritis, and if the Dr. won't check him out go to another. This is done with a blood draw. In my case I did not have this and it turns out my "growing pains" where and still are hereditary rheumatoid arthritis. Most people grow out of juvenile arthritis but if for some reason he does not, trust me the sooner he get treatment the better off he will be
I do not want to alarm you, and it probably isen't it, but leg pains are a classic symptom of Leukemia. Just have him tested (CBC's - blood tests) for white blod cell count / red blood cell count. To be on the safe side.
I hope I didn't scare you, but it's very important to be tested with this complaint.
