[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you had her evaluated? This sounds like juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in addition to many other things. I would not be pushing her to do anything until she’s evaluated.  [/quote]

You scared me now. I am reading through the symptoms, I don't see anything that applies.

Her joints are not swollen and she is not feeling pain. She is not aware of her posture or her stiffness, or complaining about it. It's just something that you can see - when she was playing tennis she wasn't bending the knees (as she should have), and now, as she is walking, she is not bending them as much as she should, either.[/quote]

This is odd enough that it is worth talking to her pediatrician about it.[/quote]

We just had yearly exam. Nobody noticed anything.[/quote]

Did you mention this to her doctor? They don’t go and look for zebras at the annual exam.  [/quote]

Did I mention what - that my DD's walk is not [b]sufficiently soft and feminine[/b]? That would upset my DD and almost certainly raise a red flag with the doctor (about me, not DD).

Maybe I used a wrong a word (stiff) - DD has no problem bending knees to sit, walk stairs, run etc. If she needs to or is told to do it, it's a non issue. It's just that she doesn't have that natural softness of movement and needs reminders to bend knees when skiing, playing tennis etc - whereas someone (e.g. one of my other kids) else will just assume those positions naturally and won't need any reminders.[/quote]

I don't even begin to understand what a soft and feminine walk would look like, and I read a lot of fiction from the Victorian era as an English major.

Every kid is different and some kids aren't as good at feeling what is going on with their bodies, especially when rapidly growing. Don't know that it has anything to do with being soft or feminine?[/quote]
