He did have a virus that started as a sore throat. A week later it became stabbing pain in the lower neck that travels up and around the spine. He legs and ankles have hurt and his face and body have been swollen. As far as injuries he did have a bad fall that knocked his tooth out and hurt his neck and body. That was 4months ago.
The neurologist did the physical screening and the mri of the brain. That’s where he stopped. Upon my request we tested for a few proteins in his blood that usually are markers for some autoimmune diseases.
But really the neurologist here is done testing we only had 1 visit and now he wants to treat for stress. He is just not listening that a healthy happy child is in debilitating pain. I was also thinking about a rheumatologist. They take months to get into here. I have noticed that pain medication doesn’t affect this pain. So I stopped giving it to him. I am also thinking of seeing another local neurologist. No one in my family has dealt with chronic pain so it’s been difficult on all of us to see him suffer and just be completely inactive due to pain.
