my son was 18 months old when i noticed he wouldnt keep his shoe on his left foot, after many visits to the hospital with no answers i waited till he was four and told a lie saying he had fallen on having an x ray he was found to have perthys desease which is the ball joint between the hip and leg not developeing, ask for an xray to ensure this is not the problem as it causes great pain, my son was in callapers for a few years but is now developing normal,i hope this has helped you and would appreciate a responce once you have been for the x ray

Growing legs ? or God forbid,
Heart attack - these can happen with out a person knowing -
I know - cos docs don't have a **** ing clue even if you tell them to their face.
They simply will not take your word unless it's proven by their instruments.

So you can go to the docs and accept the possibility that ' nothing is wrong '
Or get a real professional to do the test...your daughter.

Ask her to tell you about any chest pain, any at all.
And if your daughter is luck to have a mom that will not ignore the signs.

I lost my limp, well all most all gone, and I feel alot better after my accident...
Well you can't prove that, that why I like you people, you lay it down the way I like it, if I had no accident, but I look like a lier when I asked for medical help...
I lost credibility from friend and family as I asked for help, no one cares, and I was on my own...
I hate watching the wicked understand and show what were my rights, and rub somesoft of salt in my wound.

Don't let your child hide her pain cos a doctor or you can not prove it.!!!
