Medical question about growing boys?

Question

I am 28 now but when I was 5 and 6 years old my left leg would completely go out on me randomly. I would be walking along and all of a sudden my leg would go out and I would be on the ground. I went to the doctor but they never had an answer of what it could have been. After a while it just stop and never happened again. I am concerned because I have a son now who is 4 and if the same thing happens to him I want to have answers. I don't want to be flying blind like my parents were. If anyone who has knowledge of this happening in growing boys I would great apprcieate your input. I know how tramatic it was for me.

Answer 1

Uhmm.. well just ask a doctor again. there has to be some reason. it sounds like random leg spassims.  something may be off with your circulation.

Good luck!

Answer 2

well my leg gives out on me some times but it never made me fall to the ground.... but i would think ask your son if it has happened to him and if so just take him to a doc. im sure thay can help some how by now

Answer 3

its probably just a genetic circulation problem get a doctor to check how his blood flow does in his legs there might  be something they can do

Answer 4

It sounds like a nerve problem. It could be that a nerve in your spine was over sized as a child and vertebrae discs would sometimes pinch it completely shut. This nerve was passed on to your son genetically. I would suggest that you see a neurologist.
