text: my son has had the flu (docor diagnosis) for the past several days - it has not been severe, but just now ...? ... his mother has taken him to the hospital, because he starts crying when he has to stand or walk - anything to do with his feet.  this sounds similar to when i had him one night, and he clearly had a case of "growing pains".  could this be the same?  thx - g it could be but didnt the hospital elaborate a bit more about the diagnosis,anyway i hope he gets better soon im sure he will.
