I have always had growing pains , I have always eased them by being healthy & active joining clubs swimming walking and different kinds of sports at school. when I fell over and hurt my ankle a few years ago things started to change for me . just before the summer holidays started I had such sore pains in my feet all the way up my legs, I had been to see the doctor several times but the pains got so bad I had to go to A&E for treatment.
waiting over three hours that day to see someone. In the hospital where it was so hot and busy . lots of children in with breaks & sprains . I wasn't exactly sure what was wrong with me , I had never felt such pain.
I was taken to a ward where I was seen by a physiotherapist, she explained to me that because I had grown so much over Christmas , my leg muscles had stretched and become so tight and were causing me pain . she asked me what I did to keep fit, I explained that I do as much as I can , then I was given excercises to do in Order for me to get the proper movement back in my legs and to maintain a healthy diet , and I do these most days for five or ten minutes and eat properly.
Things have started to improve for me now however it may take some time to walk properly with ease as I am still sore. I want thank the people who were kind and helpful to me at the hospital , the physiotherapist who helps people like me every day and changed my life . I am so happy.
