Hi there peeps,
as a Mom it is sometimes a great challenge not to project your panic and anxiety on your own children.
My daughter has suffered from some ankle problems lately. Several weeks to be more precise.
I took her to her pediatrician (who already labelled me a the Anxiety Mom I am sure!). The doc was helpful and inspected her ankle but found nothing. He told me to return if she cannot walk at all, or if there are swelling, redness or if the ankle is warmer than other parts of her foot (indication of inflammation).
Now after a month has passed, she has a red part on the ankle bones on the outer part of her foot. This is also where her pain is central to. She claims she has no pain and it is like a bruise only when I pad her ankle.
Now, I do not know whether I should take her to the Dr again. I decided to wait a few days. Children hop around all over the place all the time, so maybe it is just really a bruise. It should be gone after a few days. If not, then it is clear to go to the Dr.
I just feel annoyed with myself for my panic flaring up like a storm and not know how serious her complaints are (She complains about many aches and pains all the time).
Most likely not, but if someone has had a similar experience, I would be happy to hear from you!
