What are the initial signs and symptoms of childhood leukemia?!
Question: My Son is eight years old and he's gonna be a tall boy after his dad(6'3). my son almost everyday says that his arms and legs are hurting everyday. I know abot growing pains and I kind of expected him to have them, but not constantly. I am a medic, but now I'm starting to worry. Each year he has significant growth, and I'm expecting him to do the most growth this summer, he'll be 9 in a few days. But the excessive complaints almost eceryday are starting to worry me. I'm making an appointment today for a check-up. ButI have time to ask about it first.
Answers:
usually loss of apetite, feeling tired, and bruises. it's all caused by the lack of white blood cells and platelets.
Other Answers:
Probably more likely to be something like juvenile rheumatiod arthritis than leukemia, but if you're worried and he's not feeling well, then definitely get into a doc just to calm nerves.
