Brief Answer:
MRI

Detailed Answer:
Thank you Mr. XXXX

It would however be more helpful to attach a photograph of the Xray plate or film, rather than the report.

I suggest he get an MRI to look for possible infection or tumour such can be causing the symptoms.

Hello doctor,

Yesterday sudden bruises appeared on both of my sons's legs (I attachhed the pictures of the bruises and the blood test), we took him to the A&E where they performed two blood tests, the second time round the results were all authorised, however the paediatrics did not reassure us about the bruises what are your thoughts on this condition? We are very worried please tell us what our next step should be as doctors will see my son again on the 24th.

Best regards,
XXXX

Dear doctor,

Only moments ago we have seen that these bruises have appeared on his right elbow but we are not sure when these were formed. According to our own research that we conducted at home, we are very afraid if this is a sign of leukemia? Please give us some insight and some more detail.

Thank you,
XXXX
