Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My Daughter is 14 yr. s of age has been consistently complaining of her hip bone lower back area hurting. Its on a pain scale of 5 to 9 everyday. Her stomach is constantly hurting and has that issue for years now. We did get blood work, CT scan, and seen a few doctors but turns up nothing. The past two weeks off and on she said her right hand goes numb. I had brain cancer twice and my dad past away of bone cancer. She is currently in physical therapy for the past 2 months but hasn t helped. Do you have any suggestions?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion there are two things that you have to consider.
1. Actual disease - It is very difficult to point out any specific disease at this age which effects both upper and lower limbs, since the doctors have checked and the tests have come negative.
2. You should consider the possibility of psychological overlay since you had brain cancer and you must have talked about it in front of her many times. Apart from regular doctors, it is advisable that she should be assessed by a psychiatrist also.
Thanks.
