Yesterday, I had to take my 8yr old son to the doctirs, as he has been having excruciating pain in the back of his right knee. It has been so bad, that on Friday, he couldnt get to sleep till well after 1am!So the doc, checked him over, and decided it would be best, if they sent him for X-Rays. He had 3 X-Rays taken of his right knee, which of course he thought was the coolest!
We wont know the results of the X-Rays till Tommarrow.
If the X-Rays come back clean, then the doctor thinks that he Has a Type of growing Pains that Cause Excrucitaing pain in the Joints, especially the knees. He will then be Taken out of Gym class at school, and be placed in Physical Therapy.
There is also the chance, that he could have a mass, as in a tumor. This one concerns me, as his father had a mass in his knee when he was a child, and had to have many surgeries to remove it. and to this day still has problems. Thankfully his was non cancerous. Of course, my biggest fear, is to find out my son has Cancer!
He could also have Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. For an 8yr old boy, to have that, well it isnt cool. My son loves to run around, play sprots ect. This would not be fun for him. The doctor did say, that in some cases, children with Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, out grow it once they hit Puberty.
All I know is that I am freaking out! All I want is for my baby to Happy and healthy! My boy has been through so much in his 8yrs already, he does not need one more thing on his plate! Hell neither do I! I am so scared to find out the results of the X-Rays tomarrow!
f you can, could you please Spare a prayer that my baby will be Okay!
