Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, if I believe that your child has been with trouble 4 years in his 7 years life, probably it could not be a behavioral problem, the most sinuous thing to rule out in this case would be Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, or any other reactive arthritis. I feel it would be better to consult a rheumatologist first and let it be investigated on arthritis lines.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
