CBY discussion:
What are 3 differential diagnoses of leg pains in school-age children? Include the pathophysiology of the 3 differentials.
Growing pains: a common cause of leg pain in childhood, are characterized by poorly localized pain at night, which frequently wakes the child from sleep; no objective signs of inflammation; and no daytime symptoms (Hay, et al., 2020). Growing pains (benign idiopathic paroxysmal nocturnal limb pains): underlying cause and pathogenesis are not known, but contributing factors may include1excessive physical activity (DynaMed, 2018).
Fibromyalgia : Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by diffuse musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and chronic headaches. Weather changes, lack of sleep, and stress exacerbate symptoms (Hay, et al., 2020). The exact mechanisms of fibromyalgia development are unknown, but impaired central pain processing involving altered neuroreceptor and neuropeptide physiology appears to be primary disease driver (DynaMed, 2018).
Restless leg syndrome: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurologic disorder characterized by the irresistible urge to move the legs, usually worsening at rest, relieved with movement, and occurring in the evening or at night.The pathogenesis generally unknown, but hypotheses include: hypodopaminergic hypothesis based on relief of symptoms with dopaminergic treatment exacerbation or unmasking of symptoms with dopamine antagonists circadian pattern of RLS symptoms mimics circadian pattern of dopa-responsive dystonia. RLS patients usually exhibit iron deficiency (< 50 ng/mL) in many (DynaMed, 2018).
What laboratory or radiographic studies are appropriate for children with leg pains? Explain
In the case of growing pains, there are no diagnostic tests as it is considered a benign condition. However, if symptoms such as fever, swelling, and pain that doesn’t get better with massage, heat, and pain medicine persists., diagnostic studies such as x-ray would be warranted. Testing to consider to rule out underlying causes if presentation is atypical includes:
How do musculoskeletal injuries in children differ from those in adults? In terms of injury type and location.
Cartilaginous bones: The bones of children are more cartilaginous and flexible than those of adults, and for this reason, green stick fractures are common in children i.e: fracture of supracondylar rather than dislocation of elbow (The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne, n.d).
How does the nurse practitioner decide the extent of the diagnostic work-up in a child with extremity pain?
The NP noticed that:
What fractures are common in pediatric patients, and what are the ages associated with them?
Most common fractures are of the elbow and femur. Depending on the age of the child, the growth plate may be open, which places the child at risk of injury to the growth plate and subsequent abnormal healing limitation to the future bone growth (Burns, et al.,2019).
Choosing one of the diagnoses you’ve come with; how would you treat the condition?
