Hip Hurts

my DD also complains from time to time about abdominal pain "over here" or "right there". Eventually after much complaining over an extended period of time (months or coming & going pain) we had her thoroughly evaluated, sonogram, etc. Nothing. I think it's either occasional gas, something doesn't agree with her tummy, growing pains, etc. Let's face it we all have phantom pains every so often - and eventually they go away. YEs once in a great w hile there's something serious going on - but the vast majority of the times it's just those phantom gas pains, intestinal bubbles, etc.

Sounds like growing pains to me. Often times they only notice it at night.
Glad she's seeing the doc anyway!
Hope she feels better.

A few years ago my son, who was then six, complained of his hip hurting. When it lasted for more than a few days I took him to the doctor and after she looked him over she asked if he recently was sick, which he was with a bad cold. She said that some times the virus can travel through the body and end up in the hip and it can also be vey painful. So maybe if she was sick recently that could be a result. It could also just be growing pains but it never hurts to go to the doctor, (which I'm sure you've already thought of!). Good luck to you and your daughter, I'm sure she'll be just fine.

please have the dr check her hip joints.....our oldest son was 6 when he was diagnosed with a hip issue. His symptoms were pain & a limp.

Check for hip dysplasia. It's typically found earlier but that's something you won't want to overlook.

You mentioned gymnastic. Could she have pulled a muscle in class? Good that you have her going to the Doctors! Please keep us posted!
