charliesmumVerdict is in. Charlie has a slight virual infection.
The doctor had Charlie walk up and down the room, and Charlie did so and then shouted, "My legs don't hurt anymore! I'm better! Hurray!" Miracle cure.
The doctor agreed the leg pain is likely growing pains. (and thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aurictech for the link to the information on it. He said to keep an eye on it and if there is swelling or anything let him know.
When the doctor was checking Charlie's reflexes, I made a comment about how I've watched House too much and I keep expecting something horrible to happen and he winced and said, "Terrible. I can't watch that show." Because the medical information is all screwy, apparently. He said the only medical show he likes is Scrubs - he said, oddly enough, it is the most realistic. So a 1/2 sitcom is more realistic than medical dramas. Interesting.
But I, not being a doctor, don't care about the medical bits. I just like watching Hugh Laurie be snarky.
So that's a relief. Charlie won't have to be put through all sorts of weird tests and be sent through the MRI of DOOOM and go into comas and have hallucinations until the doctors finally figure out he has some odd, rare disease that can only be caught by someone who once walked past someone who has a tropical disease.
See...too much House.
