I have this from having two kids. I've tried everything I'm going to try the answer from the girl above... If I can find out what it is. lol

It is contraction of the muscles near you spine at the point of your neck. It is usually involuntary and causing twisting or repetitive movements and bad posturing. There is no known cause.\n\nCervical dystocia is difficult labor.

Sounds scary! Ask your pediatrician ASAP!

NO! Think about it! How would someone manipulating an infant's spine help with this?? It just doesn't begin to make sense. I would never let someone manipulate my kid's spine for ANY reason. Ask any chiropractor who offers you this some RESEARCH and CLINICAL EVIDENCE (randomized trials) for this. Then ask  your doctor. It is NOT safe for kids to have their backs manipulated! Have you tried working on your child's diet??

Treatment options are critical at this point.. You apparently have a structural problem (even at your young age), perhaps familial or congenital. Is something quite routinely seen, in the doctor of Chiropractic office. \n\nIt appears to be involving the sciatic nerve. You don't want it to grow into a full blown sciatica..as it is much worse than what you are experiencing at the moment. Suggest you take care of is asap.. as it will only progress..as the inflammatory process is already evident.\n\nBeen there, done that!!

There is something called Tuja or Thuja.  Maybe homeopath medicine.  Consult a doctor since the child is quite small and the area is near the eye.

You might want to see a chiropractor.  After having my first son I was having a great deal of pain in my ribs and back and no one could figure it out. I got a new family doctor who can do re-alignments of joints and that really worked for me.

My sister had operation because of scoliosis and she had no problems during her pregnancy, she had a baby during natural way (no Cesarian section) aand she is pregnant again :)

I myself have them, the docter told me that only one in every 500,000 babies have it, usually on one foot, and it's usually on the boy gender.  I am a girl with both feet webed.  It just makes us unique.

An underlying disease that affects the neuromuscular system, a leg-length discrepancy, or a birth defect may cause scoliosis. Scoliosis can also begin in a fetus during fetal development. Congenital scoliosis is a type of birth defect that affects the development of the vertebrae and often occurs with other congenital problems.\n\nScoliosis runs in families and may involve genetic (hereditary) factors. But researchers haven't identified the gene or genes that may cause scoliosis. Doctors also recognize that spinal cord and brainstem abnormalities play a role in some cases of scoliosis.\n\nScoliosis isn't caused by poor posture, diet, exercise, or the use of backpacks.

My 11 year old son has this disorder.  Tourettes is lifelong and there is not a cure.  It is not degenerative, and one can expect to have a normal lifespan.  The tics and vocal tremors are migratory, constantly changing.  One week he might be stuck on a word.  Not yelling.  Just repeating ("just Mom, can I just just just go outside and just just just play")  Or it might be a head turn (or 10 head turns a minute).  It's different all the time.\n\nTourettes does not impede intelligence or ability to learn.  Learning may take longer because of the little distractions, though.  My son plays chess, is artistically gifted and has an IQ of 124.  I would not trade him for the world.  He has homework and chores just like everybody else.\n\nThe biggest (and most bothersome) misconception about this disorder is the coprolalia (shouting obscenities).  Fewer than 15% of people with TS ever display this symptom.  It is not a mandatory symptom for diagnosis.  Most people with TS never display this symptom.\n\nIt is not unusual to have Tourettes + (plus) other conditions.  My son has Tourettes, ADHD and OCD.  \n\nThanks for taking the time to find out about this and for asking.  Please feel free to contact me through this site for any questions.

Mmmmmm I guess "Spina bifida" is defined as any abnormal development of the bones of the spine that display a typical pattern, with or without the involvement of the brain, nerves or covering of the nerves (meninges). It is the most common congenital spine abnormality. Some have described this process as a failure of these bones to fuse during early fetal development.

You are fortunate in a way that it was seen now. Most kids get diagnosed at age 11-14.  There are a number of things that can be done.  \nSurgery is a choice when the others are not giving proper results.  The people that I know who have had surgery have had the fusion of multiple vertebrae.  This stops the progression at that location, but it is one that left them on their back for an extended period of time and in a cast for several months.  Long term outcomes depend on the person and the amount of fusion that was done, but you can expect problems above and below the fusion area to develop later in life.  Surgery of this sort will not be an option for your son at this time.\nThe bracing and body jackets have come a long way in the last number of years.  This is one place to look at this point.  The aim is to keep the spine as straight as possible so that it doesn't grow up "bent".\nThere are a number of exercises that can be done to strengthen the back muscles to hold the back straight.\nThe biggest thing is to help keep your son's spine mobile and to encourage him to stand straight.\nIf scoliosis is properly taken care of, you can expect a normal life with less pain and mobility issues than otherwise.\nAll of this information is available from your doctor, physiotherapist or orthotist.

Do you think it might be important to know where they are on your son?  How old your son is?  How they showed up?  Any other details about these bumps or any symptoms associated?  I left my crystal ball in my other sport coat.  Give details and I'll edit my answer later or tomorrow.\n\nIf there are many surface, possibly coalescing, "pus bumps" with a reddened base...this sounds like a contact dermatitis, like poison ivy or poison oak, but sometimes people can have strong reactions to other chemical agents etc...you didn't mention that there was itching, though.  You should use Domeboro solution - it is available at your local drug store.\n\nIf the pus bumps are associated with a hair follicle then this sounds like a folliculitis.  Essentially it is an infection of the hair shaft.  Oral or topical antibiotics are useful.  It is from the bacteria that is normally found on the skin.\n\nAlright that's the best I can guess given the information.  If it doesn't sound right, of course taking him into his pediatrician is a very good idea.  Good luck.

I delivered 7 kids...(6 natural, 1 with an epidural)...THEN found out I had scoliosis! I also have fused disks in my lower back. I dont know how bad the curve of my spine is..altho I have had two different drs tell me I have the most crooked spine they have ever seen. You may just need to give your back time to heal since you just had a baby a few months ago. Also doing yoga stregthens the back muscles, which could help if you decide to have another baby. Since you dont have insurance maybe you can find a Health Department or Clinic that would be able to see you. GOODLUCK!

Babies are very irregular in this sense. However, if you're worried you should talk to your pediatrician.
