Pain in the leg
by fauzisd, Jul 23, 2008 02:54AM
my son suffered from Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) a year ago. Hospitalized for a week. Although he has recovered, since then, he sometimes complaints of pain in his right leg. No visible cue or pain when touched, he just feels there is pain along the leg between the knee and the ankle. It seems like whenever he is really active during day and the night is cold, the next morning he will complaint about the pain.

HSP has a good prognosis but in children under ten, the condition recurs in about a third of all cases and usually within the first four months after the initial attack and Recurrence is more common in older children and adults.
Is your son having purpura on the legs, arms or face? Purpura, arthritis and abdominal pain are known as the classic triad of Henoch-Schönlein purpura.Abdominal pain is colicky and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea.
Blood tests and biopsy skin are the diagnostic tests helpful.
Kindly consult your physician for an early diagnosis and treatment.
Do keep us posted.
