Has anyone with a little one put them under a general for an MRI scan??
My DS has seen a number of consultants over his poor walking and running. They say he is double jointed wihich means his hips turn in 80% of the time, rather than out, as they should do. However, they all seem to agree that this doesn't explain why he falls over whenever he runs (and half the time he walks)and why he has no stamina - they say it must be neurological. So we've been asked to put him forward for an MRI. But I have reservations. Even if they find something, I don't think they can 'cure' it so why bother? What do other MNs feel? I really don't want to put him through a general anaesthetic unnecessarily.
