leg swelling in daughters leg.

[gail]

I have a 14 yr.old daughter whose left lower leg continues to swell and get rock solid hard when she does any physical activity or even walk for over a period of two hours.You cannot touch it without her being in agony.She has had a bone scan done,which came back clear.Her MRI results were also clear.Her orthopedic surgeon has ordered an ultrasound?This has been six months already and usually she is very active.Other than this she is healthy.Her Dr. at present is almost stumpped at what really is going on!Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?Anything at this piont would help.
Sincerely,
Gail Cels.

Hi and welcome,

Very sorry your daughter is having these problems. The doppler ultrasound is a good move, ct scan and venography. Does the Dr. think it could be a blood clot? I sure hope they find out what it is. By testing the viens they will know if its a clot or something that is obstructing the circulation. Good Luck
