Child Having Tingling Sensation In Right Hip. Concerned?
My 10 year old daughter has a tingling sensation deep in her right hip. The area is about the size of a quarter. The skin is not numb. She notices it more when she is resting...sitting or standing. Day or night. We are in the UK due to my husband s job, and have consulted with an NHS physician. He checked reflexes, spinal alignment, moved hips around, had her lie on back and lift feet....all was fine. No other symptoms. This has been going on for a couple of months. She has been growing like a weed, if that matters. He seemed to want to take a wait and see approach. My question is, should I be worried and asking for blood tests and / or x-rays, or is wait and see reasonable?,

Hi,
As she is otherwise OK ,growing well etc, may be you can wait for a few days more.
Plain X-ray may not show much and if at all she will need a MRI for more details.
Take care
God bless
