So sorry. Try a chiropractor. Link on FB Problem might actually not be on the knees. A bone reset somewhere might be causing pressure on knees. Second thing, hope you are giving him pro-biotics. Anti-biotics also kill the friendly bacteria in the gut. Be careful with them, they might end up doing more harm than good. Also read here that they eat away teeth. Brush his teeth after the anti-biotics. Sunshine. Give him lots. Vitamin D, Calcium=strong bones. The body 'borrows' from the bones calcium to alkanize the body. The body alkanizes after we've fed it garbage and made it acidic. Thus weak bones and osteoporosis. And before rushing to India and conventional doctors, I'd suggest nutritionists and good acclaimed herbal doctors. Medicine doesn't heal. The body heals itself.

Pierce wrote:Dear Wazuans,
My son, 2 years 4 months old has been experiencing acute pain on the knee for the last 4 months.
The pain moves from one leg to the other.
The pain dissapears for about 10 days then reccurs.
Doctors (general practitioners/paedetricians/bone specialists)have done numerous tests including Xrays,MRI's,Ultra Sound,Full Body Haemogram etc and are unable to diagnose what the problem is.
Initially he was put on a very strong dose of anti-biotics and pain killers. The pain subsided for a little while but resurfaced before the dosage was over.
As his parents we completely reduced his intake of animal protein and sugars (no snacks, no sweets etc) but the problem still persists.
It is now extremely frustrating (for us as his parents) as he is in alot of pain and cannot walk.
Anyone with ideas on a way forward!
@Pierce, pole, seeing your child go through pain is a very agonising situation to be in. I do pray for the young one. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around....

Have the Doctors tested and ruled out blood disorders such as Sickle Cell? Yes, one of the doctors tested for Sickle Cell. Turned negative

If its bad, its experience."

I'm very sorry for what you're going through. There are two paedeatric doctors who have received rave reviews on this forum. Maybe you can give them a try. One is Professor Wafula of knh and professor Were of upper hill medical centre.. My prayers are with your little one
