I am about to see a 7 year old boy, who for over a year has been experiencing 'hot painful feet' which is worse at night. So bad he wakes his parents up with his crying and they have to massage his feet until the pain settles. Their GP referred straight to the hospital and mother could not tell me who they seen because it was 8 months ago but she said it deifintely wasn't a Podiatrist. Whoever they have seen told the parents their son had growing pains and this would disappear.
The boy was a full term pregnancy and has no other health conditions. According to his mother the pain is only in his feet, he does not complain of heel/knee/calf pain. He has not had any recent growth changes. Pain is worse if he has been out playing.
Her concern is that it is getting worse, not better. My concern is I haven't a clue what to be thinking about...! Obviously once I actually see the child things may become clearer.
Can anyone think of anything of the top of their head that I should be thinking about?! I may have Monday brain and something obvious is not coming to me!
Thanks in advance for any advice :)
