My daughter is 3 and started complaining about her legs hurting 3 months ago, now she can't walk for more than 5 mins without her legs giving out. We have to take her in a stroller everywhere. We have been waiting to see the speacilist in 3 months but she seems to be getting worse fast, we give her massages, hot baths, and now she is on heavy pain killers, is there anyone else out there who has been through this that can give me advice on other things to try or do? Or what else this might be?

Hi I am a massage therapist who has dealt with alot of clients who has some of the same issues, but I will say not so young.
I have recommended to my clients a cream that is specifically geared for people with arthritis. I suggested to a friend's father in law who has rheumatoid arthritis so bad he could barely walk. He was taking shots once a month just for the pain. He tried it and now has discontinued the shots. You can order this product over the internet it's called free derm ac cream it works instantly. Now I realize this is just a pallitive treatment, and does not take away the problem, but it's allnatural made with emu oil, msm, trace elements and I suggest it to all my clients, who have had tremendous success with it. There are alot of other things that could be causing her muscle weakness, some diseases I would not care to mention. But until they properly diagnose her it's better to use this cream then to heavily sedate a 3 year old, which could cause pshychological problems in the long run.
I wish you well

WHY would you wait 3 months to see a specialist? Your poor little girl is hurting and has an obvious problem. I personaly can not imagine waiting 3 months. I don't even know what to say. I am just mortified that you would let your little one go through this while you wait 3 THREE months to see a specialist.
Please, I beg you, find another specialist who is more readily available, get on the phone and start calling every specialist in your state until you find one that will see you immediately!!
