My daughter complained last night that her one leg felt wobbly and asked for the medication before I suggested it. This morning she crawled into my bed saying she couldn't feel anything in her leg, that it felt dead. I tried poking it with the end of a pen, having her curl her toes and she barely felt it.
I massaged the calf sometimes squeezing tight. Feeling slowly came back but it was spooky. By the time she left for school she was walking normally. This was the same calf that had a major cramp in the last week during the swim meet. She mentioned that this summer whenever she sat cross legged her legs felt very strange. Perhaps some of the mystery behind her joint and muscle painful episondes will slowly come to light.
At one point the docs thought she had the beginnings of a condition that slowly paralyzes a kid from the feet up leaving them in a wheelchair until it disappears. Strange.
Positive attitude time, keep track of what happens and be the mom.
