It could be a pilonidal cyst forming. Or did she fall & bump her coccyx? You can look up pilonidal cysts on line to see if her symptoms match. Good Luck to you both!!!

Try popsicles, juice, or pedialyte as some kids just don't like water. With that in mind as long as you avoid high sugar drinks, and caffeinated drinks like soda, you are still flushing her system out.  Cranberry juice or even OJ works well as they are high in acid, and sometimes helps to flush out the bacteria be cautious because the acid can cause her more pain.\n\nNow kids especially young girls are more prone to UTI's as they do not understand the importance of wiping FRONT TO BACK. \n\nIf she is having a lot of pain you can try Motrin as it is an anti-inflammatory (works really well for muscle pain and the bladder is a muscle) and will help with bladder pain. You do not want to ask for a prescription pain reliever as it will cause urinary retention which you want to avoid. There are over the counter products that coat the bladder called AZO (pyridium) that can be given, but call your pediatrician first as i dont think it is recomended in children that young. (It will cause her urine to be bright orange)\n\nAlso avoid baths, especially bubble baths as sitting in standing water in the tub introduces bacteria to the urethra. \n\nAs far as the not listening to her, this is a case of peter wolf. This might just have been what she needed to learn that you have to be honest about when you feel bad. Also if she is having issues about school, make sure everything is alright there, talk to her teacher and make sure there is not something else going on. She is at an age that imagination and reality are not separate. This is common and is not a "lying" issue. It is a developmental issue.

Take her to a doctor.  It's possible that she has an infection of some sort.  It's also possible that she's acting out because of some sort of trauma (stress, abuse, being abandoned by her parents).  This isn't normal behavior for a healthy 9-yr-old.\n\nGood luck!

More than likely it's due to the pregnancy... your baby is going to be putting on weight soon so the placenta is gonna get bigger-  causing pain in your sides, back, ect. But just to be safe I would bring it up at your next check-up

Sounds like mild epilepsy. Happened to myself and several people I know when we were around your daughter's age. Did not affect our daily lives at all, in fact, we became more careful about what we did. \n\nFor example, we avoided swimming and climbing high places. I started having a more healthy diet, did plenty of stretching to ease the tension in my body, take short and long breaks during studying times.\n\nShe will be fine :)

I'm not a trainer or nothing.But I know from personal experience that that is exactly what happened to me and my sister in law. She had sore ab muscles for like two weeks.

Perhaps the reason is that she has not performed her pelvic floor exercises post natal. These are improtant to do to tighten all the muscles that lossen up when a lady has a baby..they also remain loose due to hormones during and after child birth. If she is still breast feeding this can elongate the period to which this occurs..please give her time and talk it through with her. :)

Put you hand on the spot. Is it hot? Is it firm or is it squishy?  \n\nIf it is hot and squishy (Soft) then get him to the doctor quickly. It could be infected.  And a spinal infection is nothing to play with.  It could lead to paralysis.

It is impossible to tell you what is wrong without observing you.  Specialized tests such as an X-ray would be the most prudent place to start.  You definitely have an old injury, that may have damaged a ligament which healed with time, but may be stretched out allowing a joint to be unstable.  Now when the joint moves to far, because the ligament isn't tight, a reflex takes place to recruit your muscles to do the job of the ligament.  Now you have sore muscles in the area because they have been trying to hold it all day.  Also, you are at the age that considerable growth is taking place, another reason for the X-ray.  You could be developing scoliosis(abnormal lateral bending of the spine.)  Your heavy chest isn't helping, and with time if left alone without a correction, ie chiropractic or physical therapy it will only get worse.  Your mom is right, the mattress most definitely should be changed, you can't sleep on it forever.  It will give you problems.  And, just sit back and reason with yourself.  Why are you trying to  crack your back, probably because there is a problem there that feels better after doing so.  But, you are getting pain, this means that you should stop and let a professionally trained Doctor like a Chiropractor or Osteopath do it.  They are only going to treat the area that needs it, not everywhere that doesn't.  This way you won't stretch the rest of your ligaments around the other joints, which will ultimately end up giving you more unnecessary problems.  You should not be having this pain at your age, you need to have someone help you and before it gives you a chronic problem that you have to deal with forever.

I had it done about 10 yrs. ago and mine didn't do that. It might be just lying flat at night causes the swelling and could be normal for you.

It may be dependant on what tablets she takes.\n\nMy mother has the same condition and i know that ingredients in certain foor i.e soya, dairy, wheat, can cause pains and swelling as they react with the ingredients in the tablet..

well it can be dysfunctional Sacro iliac joint, it causes pain in the hip, and mostly there are normal xrays. consult a physiotherapist.

No don't wait!!!! I have dealt with that my whole life, mine is migrains. Your daughter could be suffering migrains or it could be a tumor or blood clot, there are so  many different things it could be. Get her to a doctor as soon as you can, if it turns out ot be migrains then they can tell you about different triggers that set them off. Please don't wait because time could be of the essence!!!!!!!!!!

It will probably take weeks if not a few months for it not to be sore any longer, an ex of mine did this once and was in pain for a while after getting it fixed.  Now he didn't have these but maybe there are some pt (physical therapy) exercises you can do to help it heal.  Good luck hope you feel better.

Hi Sexy,  That's terrible. Boils are soooo painful and nasty. You really need to take your daughter to see her doctor. He should beable to give you some kind of shampoo to prevent this from happening.I just hope your daughter doesn't get a staff infection.Really i have never heard about babies getting boils on their heads.

Talk more with your doctor and ask him to be more specific.  Tell him you are VERY concerned.\n\nMy daughter, when she was around 7 had osteomyelitis in her heel.  She was put in the hospital, given antibiotics through an IV.  She was in the hospital for around a week and every thing worked out fine.  She got over it.   Medicine was near as good as it is today.  Good luck.  Pops

Please read this all the way through, my heart is with you. I have two boys 10 and 6 that did the same thing (flushing). Charging 10 cents every time I found the bowl full stopped my problem. But your daughter seems like she has hit rebellion already. My 6 year old became very sore and he learned his lesson at 4 about wiping. But with your daughter "dirty down there" is not going to work. She's 10 not 4, don't patronize her, think back to when you were 10. Let's face it we were all picking up info from friends about sex. You 3 parents have to get together as a group and realize she is not a child she is a young lady/woman. Lectures and threats are not going to work anymore. She needs to start making her own decisions, educated decisions. Talk to a gynecologist get facts about what could happen if she doesn't clean up her act. Pictures if necessary, of what these diseases can do to her body. She could pick up staf infection just to name one, and wind up in the hospital. (My husband being a fire fighter had a call at one time about a woman with an upset stomach. She wasn't a wiper either her whole body smelt of crap. When they got her to the hospital because no one wanted to check between her legs (which was where the real discomfort was) they found her vagina was infested, stuffed with maggots.)Please do everything in your power to educate her in a way that will help her to help herself make the right choices. Also is she happy with herself, looks, school, and friends. These are all very important to her right now. If she doesn't have it yet soon she will be starting her cycle. You think you have problems now, wait. This is the summer of change for your family. Make it that way, help her, she needs you all just to hear her, and realize she is not a little girl, or even a big girl, she is a young lady/woman. A new hair style, a light colored eyeshadow if not wearing makeup, a few new clothes, you might want to rethink the panty thing. Is she wearing panties that make her feel like a young lady/woman, or is she wearing widebottomed, widesided diaperwear. Help her to feel different about herself. Chin up, no one ever said this parent thing was easy, but think of the good times, keep an open mind, and email me if you need to. We have all been there in one way or another.
