[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been pretty calm but I’m starting to worry. He has a very high fever breaking through Advil and Tylenol, and ankle and knee pain making it hard for him to walk. We are in AA county in MD and they are transferring us to children’s in the am. Everything is coming up negative, covid/panels of respiratory viruses, MRI, chest X-ray, WBC count is normal but inflammatory markers are high. Awaiting Lyme and blood culture results in the am.

I’m not looking for a website diagnosis, I’m just worried and sleep deprived and never thought it would take this long to figure it out. [/quote]

When my three year old couldn't walk well (pain in a leg), the pediatrician told me to take him for an x ray of his hip joint at a pediatric ER.  Not a regular ER.   Apparently kids can get a virus or a bacterial infection that settles in the joint.  The bacterial kind (with a fever) is easy to treat but can damage the joint if not caught in time.  Did they xray his knees and ankles?[/quote]
