I have a three year old (4 in Feb). She toe walks,one foot turns in, just learned to jump, complains of leg pain. She also isnt able to hop on one foot.
After seeing three PCMS in a year we finally saw one who took time with her to rule out any problems.
We were seen by our PCM who felt it was tightness in her achilles tendon. We were then sent to a orthopedic. He ordered x-rays to view her legs and spine.
X rays came back normal but he wanted to rule out neuro problems.
Thus far we have meet with the neuro, had a mri and followed up with the neuro. In the Mri it showed signals in the white matter of her brain. We are now being sent for EEG, blood work and urine to rule out Metabolic. In the mean time she is getting development assessment done. Therpy is being set up.
I am new to this so any advice or information will be helpful.
ETA if all the blood work and urine comes back normal then it will be a case of Mild CP
