Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi, Everyone.....Amy....Quinn's PCP should be able to tell you if his hips are loose due to the DS/low muscle tone. Not all kids with DS have low muscle tone. If he sits on the couch and pops his hip joint in and out while watching TV, then it could very well be an issue. Gareth use to do that and it would drive me up the wall....worse than fingernails on the blackboard!!! It never hurt him but wore down his socket/hip joint. We never knew G's hip was gone till he started complaining of knee pain. By then, the socket was almost gone and the nerve was damaged....causing the knee pain. Take care, Everyone.
