My 7 yr old daughter says that her right leg keeps "beeping". It hurts and is keeping her from sleeping, she is restless and says it hurts. I have wrapped a warm cloth around the knee area and have it elevated on a pillow. This has been an ongoing issue for a few years. It comes and goes. Should her leg be scanned or x-rayed?Kc,Mo.

Have you brought this up with the pediatrician before?

Yes I have mentioned it on numerous occasions, and every time they said or did nothing, didn't bother to even take a look at it.

Get a second opinion. Maybe make an appointment with a pediatric orthopedist.

You cannot get an x-ray because you want one, or feel she needs one, it has to be ordered by a doctor.

Will do!

With any doctor, if you are not getting an answer, keep asking or find another doctor to ask. To bother like this, it must be somethng, and should be addressed
