Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Hi all, I have a question and was wondering if anyone else experienced it....my son is 3 (a little on the pudgy side) and has been complaining of chronic knee pains for about 3 months....We did find a last source of corn he was still ingesting and it was removed as of Friday (he has been totally corn free without slip-ups since Sat) and I am not sure this is what is causing it, is it growing pains......it is his knee caps though and I always thought calves were growing pains..anyone else experience this and what did you try??? I have MSM here from Kirkmans that I bought a trial size and I know my mother takes it (hope Kirkmans don't get mad, she buys it from them for Rhumetoid Arth. but she is not Autistic) she absolutely swears by it and sears by them (Kirkmans)...I purchased my trial size a few months back and I forget why the woman told me to try it, I believe it was for healing Mason's tummy.....anyways to make a long story short, any ideas??????

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Another thing to think about- Hep B vaccine also causes joint pain (arthritic like symptons). Did you child receive a Hep B vaccine?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 In the reading I've done, and with my child, the complaints of pain are common. Many ASD people have physical complaints that resemble chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. Metals toxicity can cause these pains, as can celiac disease. Some people get relief with MSM from FMS and arthritis pain. MSM can also help with the sulphation problems our kids often have (and maybe that's why people with other disorders feel better, too). Kirkman Labs probably has MSM articles (or links to them) on its website. > Hi all, > > I have a question and was wondering if anyone else experienced > it....my son is 3 (a little on the pudgy side) and has been > complaining of chronic knee pains for about 3 months....We did find a > last source of corn he was still ingesting and it was removed as of > Friday (he has been totally corn free without slip-ups since Sat) and > I am not sure this is what is causing it, is it growing pains......it > is his knee caps though and I always thought calves were growing > pains..anyone else experience this and what did you try??? > > I have MSM here from Kirkmans that I bought a trial size and I know > my mother takes it (hope Kirkmans don't get mad, she buys it from > them for Rhumetoid Arth. but she is not Autistic) she absolutely > swears by it and sears by them (Kirkmans)...I purchased my trial size > a few months back and I forget why the woman told me to try it, I > believe it was for healing Mason's tummy.....anyways to make a long > story short, any ideas?????? > > > Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 Yes, my brother had this. Osgood-Schlatter Disease. It happens during a growth spurt. Nowadays, they treat it by cutting down on activities that require knee bending for two to four months. R = Rest the knee from the painful activity. I = Ice the affected area for 20 minutes three times a day. C = Compress the painful area with an elastic bandage. E = Elevate the leg. But I have a son with behind the knee complaints that have gone away with this diet. You might look into soy, corn or rice being a source of this. Growing pains are not constant, and are, in my experience, in the calves.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 WOW I haven't heard this in a WHILE!!!!!!!!!! I had this as a pre-pubescent & had to work out my calves to support my knees, that name brought me back! It's Osgood OR Hypo-mobile-floating-patellas, OR Namith's Knees! -Shari Lolita Cook wrote: > Yes, my brother had this. Osgood-Schlatter Disease. It happens during a > growth spurt.
