What Causes Stumbling Of The Leg In A 17 Month Old?

I have a 17 month old daughter. She woke up this morning stumbling. She can't put any pressure on her right leg or she falls over. I took her to the ER and they did an xray on her hip. They didn't find anything wrong. We got home and she walked around for a while at my sister's like nothing was wrong. I put her in her carseat and brought her home and she could walk again. We are supposed to go out of town and I don't want to leave home if there is a big problem.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi dear
welcome to the HCM,
Probably her leg was in proper position and her nerve might have been compressed for some time leading to such situation.
Please give her some antinflammmatory drug like ibuprofen or paracetamol and hope the things will be alright.
Thanks
