Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my son is 10 years old and complaining about knee pain....there is no swelling, bruising but he is complaining about the pain is below the knee cap. it started on Monday and went to the clinic yesterday...they say there are no broken bones but he can hardly walk on it...should I take him to the hospital to see a orthopedic specialist?
Welcome at HCM I appreciate your health concerns Is there any history of trauma? Is there any fever associated? Any rash in the body? Any burning micturation? In my opinion you should definitely consult an orthopedic surgeon so that he can be assessed properly. Sometimes there is soft tissue injury which doesn't evident on x ray. Or it could be secondary to some other infection in body. Meet orthopedic surgeon Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain Regards
