Swollen Muscles, Joints And Pain...ca-mrsa?????? Posted: 08-08-07 23:56pm
Last year my 8 year old daughter began
complaining that her ankle was sore. It
progressively got more painful over a 1
week period until she couldn't walk on it
with out excruciating pain. We thought she
sprained her ankle. It was swoolen, hot
and painful. Then she started complaining
about pain in her knee on the other leg.
Within a few days she was completely
unable to walk! We measured swoolen joints
and muscles showing 1 to 3 inches of
swelling in diameter around a calf muscle,
a knee, an ankle etc. She showed swelling
in random muscles and joints in both legs
and screamed out in pain when her legs
were lightly touched! Doctors ran a
variety of tests. She had no fever. Her
legs were x-rayed, they did an ultrasound
on her legs, ran blood tests for signs of
infection and all tests came out normal.
The doctors were perplexed. They sent her
home and as quickly as the symptoms began,
they subsided until the swelling was
completely gone and within a few days was
running around like a normal child. She
still complains now and again of pain in
her legs or an ankle but nothing as
seroius as that one isolated event has
occurred since. Does anyone have an idea
of what this was? Could it be CA-MRSA?
