That's why that popped into my mind - and again I may be WAY off base, but it's a thought.
It was a good thought! And I considered it. The nerve test showed no nerve activity below the knee.(not a loss of feeling but a loss of ability to move it, the nerve did not activate the muscles to move when the brain told them to. The test was grueling b/c they stuck probes in and then would stimulate the nerve and test muscle reaction via the probes) Definite nerve damage. Without an injury to explain it though, we are left with a mystery. This is better than some of the other things the Dr.s were ruling out: brain tumor, brain plaques (MS), among other serious things.

The doctor said that a growth spurt might have triggered it! ???
This is a definite possibility. He grew 7 inches in 6 months last fall. He has stretch marks on his back! And he is very skinny. 5'9" and 116lbs. The Dr. said it is possible the nerve stretched/snapped or its growth didn't keep up with him. He also suspects he could have injured it and didn't notice.
DS's emotional state and irritability is another story!!!
