Almost 4 year old leg falls asleep Daily
by beebaboo, Mar 07, 2008 08:06PM
I have a little girl who will be 4 in June (3 months from now) her legs fall asleep about every other day. Not at the same time and not always the same one. She is usually sitting "indian style" when it happens but not always. She is always sitting though. Does anyone know what could be causing this or if its a normal childhood quirk?

My child which is three was saying her feet were burning and everyone was saying they were just falling asleep but i could tell by her cry she was in more pain. and it happened almost everyday. dr sent her for mri and it showed Chiari one malformation. but they didn't think that was what was wrong with feet then about a year later she started having bad headaches when she cried so dr had mri with contrast and was shocked to see that her spinal fluid was 100% blocked from going back up around the back of her brain. she had surgery four months ago and is doing great. It is a very rare but you might want to check into it.
