lovinmyboys Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Ds11 hurt his quadricep today and has chills. He ran a 5k last weekend with no preparation and this week he would occasionally tell me his legs hurt. I figured he was sore from that. Today he played 3 baseball games and played catcher several innings. In the third game, he slid into home and said his thigh just exploded in pain. He can’t/won’t walk on it, but it doesn’t look abnormal. Now, he is sitting in the house shivering and his arms have goosebumps. Is this something he needs to see a dr for, or just Motrin and rest? Or any other treatment? He seems to be tolerating the pain fine sitting on the couch-he is just really cold even though it is warm/he is dressed warm/is under a blanket.

kbutton Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 When my body is stressed, it tends to not want to thermo-regulate well. I think you need to get his leg checked out, but not emergently. Keep him hydrated and warm along with the motrin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'd wait until tomorrow and if he is still having trouble, I'd take him to the doctor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to get his leg checked out, but not emergently. Keep him hydrated and warm along with the motrin. I think you are right-he is in pain and it is making him cold. I get cold when I am stressed. I was worried for some reason that it might mean he had a more significant injury, but I don’t think so. He fell asleep, so he is doesn’t seem to be in too much pain as long as he isn’t trying to put weight on it. I’ll see how it is in the morning.

Guinevere Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Have you taken his temperature? I'd want to rule out the idea of an infection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I agree with button; stress due to injury and pain can cause thermo-regulation issues, and the three games he played might have exacerbated the problem. I see that he is asleep, so hopefully he will feel much better in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) well, maybe he has a fracture? Bones don't have to be poking out of the skin to be broken, and it sounds like he may be going into shock.

Rebecca Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I have read of rhabdomyolysis occurring with muscle overuse. Your post made me think of it. It is rare but real. I would check him for the symptoms and take him in if he has them. It is better to be safe. Rebecca 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 well, maybe he has a fracture? Yes. That kind of pain immediately after an injury and he can’t put weight on it? Needs an x-ray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 How is he feeling today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinmyboys Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 He is ok today. He is still limping but can put weight on it and seems in much better spirits. Thanks for checking! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
