My parents won't beleive me!

[temari_sensei_girl]

Well, I've been having tremendous pain in my right leg in the shin and it would, what I call "turn on" and "turn off" and when it "turned on" it wouldn't "turn off" untill a few weeks later. I told some of my friends and they said that since it's so painful that I can baraly walk half the time and that it doesn't go away perminitly, it might be splints.

I was curious and I looked up "Splints disease" on google and I found this.

I tried to tell my parents, but they are convinced that it is growing pains. They don't know how bad the pain in my leg is, tho, so how would they know?!

The thing at the bottom of that page is what concerned me most because it said the difference between it and growing pains. Mine didn't fit the description of growing pains at all. I'm concerned of how bad it will start hurting if I don't get something. I just started taking ibeprfin for it, so it is getting really bad...

I need to know how I can convince my parents to let me see the doctor. They are just so convinced that it's growing pains, that it's as if they haven't seen me limping around the house half the time, complaining that my shin hurt like heck.

I can't even walk very well, because of how bad it is right now. I try to put preasure on it with my thumbs, but it doesn't help much, because if it were growing pains, it might help, but if it were splints, than it would only cause it to hurt more...

And it did....

I need some help....

Keep complaining if it continues to bother you.

I hope the pain goes away but if it doesn't I hope your parents will give in soon.

I don't want to startle you more or turn you in to a hypochondriac but some cancers start out that way, as a pain in an arm or leg that will not go away.

That is only a worse case scenario. My aunt described her cancer pain as more of a buzzing feeling.

I remember growing pains, I suppose it feels a little different for everyone and people have different pain threshholds.

Best of luck.

Well, thats not fair. If you are in pain then tell them that you feel that a doctors appointment is needed. You have the right to medical care, a request for a doctor shouldn't be neglected.

If your parents still will not take you to a doctor, maybe ask an adult that you trust to take you to a doctor.

In the meantime I suggest putting a bag of ice over the place where it hurts, if that helps.

Accutally at first (about a year ago, yes the pain has been in my shin for a while) I thought it was cancer, becuase it hurt so bad and I went and checked it out, but after a while I concidered the odds and supposed that it was just growing pains.... About a year later (now) I'm starting to reconcider, and the pain isn't the same. It's more sharp and it hurts every time I take a step. When I sit down or don't put pressure on it, it doesn't seem to bother me at all.

If it was cancer it would probebly hurt all the time, but if it was growing pains, they wouldn't last this long or hurt this bad...

I've tryed again and they still tell me to just deal with it.

Have you showed them the website?

Might not help, but could...Just keep trying.

 

[~TamaBloom12~]

Like tamagotchi rules said show your parents the webpage, that might change thie minds. I have had a knee pain which was just caused by hitting my knee, I think I tore a ligament, could it be something that?

 

[RachelGotchi]

Tell them they aren't doctors and only you know what pain you are in.

Why would they take the risk that it may be something serious and let you live with it? If it is something serious, god forbid, it can usually only get worse and as time progresses the pain my become literally unbearable.

I wouldn't let them not take you to see professional advice. Professionals are not always right but they probably have a much better idea than your parents.

 

[cluck_cluck_chicken]

Tell them you are very serious and then if they still don't believe you ask them to take you to the doctor if that doesn't work tell your nana grandad aunty uncle until some one takes you to the doctor.

Well, I have shown them the site and they keep on telling me, "You're not a doctor and I'm not a doctor so I wouldn't know if that's what it really is."

Plus, I have to go to the doctor all the time. I get myself torn up a lot. The doctor's office is like my second home, and the doctors know me by name. I've had to go becuase of athsma, torn ligaments, twisted ankles, brockitis (sp?)

I'm guessing that my mom is sick of taking me to the doctor because I keep on getting sick and needing a doctor, but half the things that I get sick from, aren't even my fault.

I got a torn Ligament ._. It hurt and I could barely walk

I say tell a friend, see what she says. Or complain and complain until your parents listen
