My 15 year old daughter has had pain in her left leg, more so the knee and lower leg, for about a year now. I though that it may have been growing pains. With in the past 4 months the paid has gotten wore and I took her the pediatrician, then sent her to and orthopedic doctor. They took an MRI and said that it showed that she had fluid in her distal femur. That I need to take her to an orthopedic oncologist and have a biopsy done. We went and they did a bone scan with contrast and that came back negative for Leukemia, but they said the frustrating part is, they didn't know what it was. We were then sent to another orthopedic oncologist and they ordered a MRI with contrast, which mind you she had an allergic reaction to then took a trip down to the ER.Well I call the doctor ask for the results of the MRI and he says that she has bruising of her bone. No treatment, to come back in 3 to 4 weeks.I did manage to have the doctor take her out of gym until we see him again.she doesn't do sport of any kind.has anyone heard of this???

It's a new one on me. And it worries me that this has been going on for so long.
Good luck to your daughter!

I've heard of bone bruises from sport related injuries..but this seems like a whole other type of injury. I'm sorry I cannot be of more help, and I wish your daughter the best of luck.
