Pain In Left Leg, Limping, Difficulty Walking. Causes For Symptoms?
My son woke up this morning with pain in his left leg and when we would try to get him to walk he would buckle.. It lasted from 10 o clock am to 2 o clock pm but he had limp afterwards until 5 o clock pm then it just went away.. I am wondering what is going on?? He didn t sleep any different then he usually does and last night when I put him down for bed he was fine..

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
in most cases this is nothing serious and it could have been some hit or sprained ankle and it should pass after pain subside. If this persist then you should visit doctor and do leg xray and neurologic examination. Till that just be sure that he rests with elevated leg and do streching exercises with him. Wish you good health.
