Yes we had a similar issue. My son fell off an amusement ride as he tried to get off of it and it wasn't until 1 wk later that we got xrays and he had 3 fractured ribs! The ER dox said he was a tough kid but we knew that he had hypo-pain sensitivity.

Yes we had a similar issue. My son fell off an amusement ride as he tried to get off of it and it wasn't until 1 wk later that we got xrays and he had 3 fractured ribs! The ER dox said he was a tough kid but we knew that he had hypo-pain sensitivity. Now, when he says something hurts, I listen! It's always a fear but wheb they have more lang it's a little better. Wish you the best on learning body parts.Sent via BlackBerry by AT&TFrom: Laureen Forman Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:47:17 -0700To: <mb12 valtrex >Subject: Re: Re: Communicating Pain I have to say – we are in the same boat with my son – he is completely non-verbal and we’ve had 2 broken bones and we didn’t even know that it happened (no crying). This is one of my biggest fears with my son. He has been more responsive to pain since treating his GI issues but, getting him to communicate where it hurts is difficult. We’re teaching him body parts so that he can identify ‘where it hurts’.

I remember we had taken him to a party and all the kids were playing in the back yard. My son was on the swing and I had to go inside to get something. While I was inside, I heard my son cry loudly. When I rushed back to him, he was on his way inside crying bitterly. I knew he had gotten hurt but didn't know what exactly happened. I still remember the feeling of helplessness I went thru at that time. The next day we saw this big bruise on my son's nose. He had apparently gotten hurt on his nose the previous day but couldn't even point to it and tell me when I asked him that day....I kept on asking him, where is it hurting, point and show... No response, just bitter crying...He was about 5 years old at that time. We have been on the biomedical path for the past 8 years and things are very different now. He can even tell me if someone hurts his feelings now...:-) So please hang in there. Continue on the biomed path. This path will lead to success.... Sangeeta
