Ava fell in the sandpit at daycare this morning and has since refuse to walk or put any weight on her leg. We took her to the Dr and he pushed and twisted her legs when she was sitting down and she was absolutely fine, but as soon as she goes to stand she is in pain. He wasnt sure what was wrong but said that it doesn't seem to be major?!
He said that if we were worried we could take her to get xrays tomorrow if she still wont put weight on it. What could be wrong?? If she is sitting on the floor, she is fine and will happily play.

Jack hurt his leg on the slide late last year and although they couldn't find anything wrong on the xrays it was suggested that he could have had a fracture in his growth plate. He too was fine sitting but wouldn't walk on it. He ended up in cast for a week and it was a nightmare and caused all sorts of separation anxiety problems afterwards.
You could ask for an xray and/or to be referred to a specialist if you are concerned. We saw a specialist who did a day a week at the local A&E. It was all under ACC so that helped. Good luck! ------------- Lindsey
