Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 :Did they do a urinalysis on him? Hilda From: Texas-Autism-Advocacy [mailto:Texas-Autism-Advocacy ] On Behalf Of Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2011 6:20 PMTo: Texas-Autism-Advocacy Subject: Seeking your thoughts Something happens very strange this morning to our 8 years old autistic son that we have no clue - He is physically 100% perfect and slept last night with no issue. He woke up this morning and when tried to go to restroom, he was unable to put his right feet on the ground for possible pain(?). We thought may be muscle cramp or something, so we did soft message his leg/feet muscle but unfortunately even after couple hours it did not show any improvement. When doing message, it doesn't look like he has any muscle pain as he did not cry or show any response unless bending/straightening leg 100%. When he is sitting, he is moving his leg as usual, kicking chair legs/ground as normal. So, there seems no issue with nerviness/numbing. Took to Park Nicollet Clinic at 10:30am, doctor checked his entire leg/feet, found no bone/muscle pain. So, they did his hip x-ray to find out if anything wrong going on his hip. X-ray came normal and his hip structure looks alright. Now the doctors are clue less and we are clueless too. We would appreciate sending your thoughts!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 My son is 10. He also complains of pain and at times refuses to walk or stand. He also went to an ortho doc but they did not think his flat feet were the cause. No xrays. It is very difficult for me to place him in a grocery cart in order to shop. We have been laughed at by store staff. I'm at a loss too since there appears to be no explanation, cause or obvious reason. wrote: >Something happens very strange this morning to our 8 years old autistic son that >we have no clue - > >He is physically 100% perfect and slept last night with no issue.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Sounds like severe vitamin d deficiency that may be causing bone weakness ESP in the foot. I'll have to look for the article when I get home but apparently it is quite common. It may be much more common with autistic kids than you realize. http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/PDFs/cannell-on-the-aetiology-of-autism.pdfFor much more info regarding vitamin d and autism. http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/health/autism/autism-information.shtml LouisOn Apr 21, 2011, at 6:34 PM, April Daisy wrote: My son is 10.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 If it continues, I'd have them check a urinalysis; you can have a UTI without symptoms. Maybe he has pain radiating into his leg from constipation?  Constipation can be very painful at times. Those would be my two best ideas from what you've said.
