my kid did the same thing when she was six. we eliminated dairy from her diet and the tummy aches stopped. she is lactose intolerant.

So to update:

The master took him to the doc last night, (same doc that delivered him who sees all my kids about everything, so he knows them pretty well)

He told us for the time being keep and eye out and if he develops constant or acute pain or experiences any difficulty walking to get right back to him - to use our gut feeling.

As for what he thinks, Max is a little bit knock-kneed and he believes that he perhaps does suffer from some strain in his knees due to that.

He manipulated Max's legs and from that could determine that is WASN'T any of the scary things we had imagined. He could bend his knees without any pain or discomfort, and his pain ISN'T worse during some parts of the day to others.

I'm still going to be vigilant and watch him very closely. My little guy is the happiest kid I know, I'm going to be listening very closely to things he tells me and ask him lots of questions!

Glad everything seems ok

When i was a similiar age (my mother loves telling this story ) i developed a limp in my left leg

Several days later i got out of bed and was walking fine my mum asked if i was ok as i wasn't limping

so i quickly started limping again but with my right leg

At which point my mother kinda realised there was nothing to worry about

Different senario to your fright i know, but kids eh they worry the life out of you don't they

we have different brands of lactose free milk, but they are cows milk. other than that we are talking rice milk or soya which she will not touch with a ten foot pole. blood tests have shown that she has no allergies, homeopath said she has a sensitivity to cows milk, nothig about lactose. i am very confused about the whole thing.

angelcat said:

ahhh! so did you try goats milk with success then? We have that here but only in 1L cartons

ZombieKitten said:

it does seem to suit her. so far so good. she is the only one who drinks it in the house. but she fairly gets through it.

So, have you been to the doc's?

Keeping my fingers crossed for ya!

Good to hear it's nothing too serious. Poor little fella.

I had terrible aches in my leg muscles, knees and shins as a child and teenager. After playing lots of football and especially basketball (like practicing every day for hours out back on concrete) my left leg started to hurt terribly, like there was a really taut metal wire running down the middle of my knee that would creak and get stiff and then at other times feel vulnerable and weak. I forget what the problem was (we're talking 12 or 13 years ago) but it's started to return

I had knee issues, too, but not until my early teens when I was growing. It was called Osgood Schlotters disease. I grew this weird bump on the front of my knee, below the kneecap. It was really painful, and it seemed to have been partly from playing too much basketball & doing gymnastics at a young age.

NDRU said:

wow, so many conditions! and did it go away by itself?

ZombieKitten said:

I still have the bump (it is actually bone!), but it is not often painful. My knees hurt sometimes but not in the same way.

I wonder, when you say he's knock-kneed, is that a condition, or do you think that his posture could be improved--specifically his feet--that would translate to better knee position?

I always thought flat feet and knock knees went hand in hand, but his feet have high arches (like our whole family has) My mother in law and sister in law and father in law all have knock knees and flat feet, and my family the whole lot of us is bow-legged, in the other 2 kids it seems to have cancelled out both and they have lovely straight legs. Usually babies are bowlegged and toddlers are knock-kneed and they grow out of it by school age. Max hasn't.
