Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my three year old has had a sore leg for 2 days now...she has been limping and it seems to be her knee that is the problem. She can bend it, it is not swollen or bruised and she isn t in any sort of pain to make her cry, she just limps and seems to have trouble putting weight on that leg. Not sure if it s something we should go to the doctor for or not?
Hi. limping at this age definitely needs evaluation as a child of 2 years can't explain her pain or weakness. There can be multiple reasons for limping in a 2 years old child starting from local injury to rhumatological disorders to joint infections to neurological problems also. So I think it will be a wise decision to visit a pediatric rhumatologist/ orthopedician. Thanks
