Patient's question:
One of my relatives is only 15 years old this year. Since he was around nine, his way of walking has been different from that of ordinary people. For three years, from three years ago until now, he has been unable to walk. The family has sought medical help everywhere, but no cause has been identified. Some doctors suggest it is hereditary, but none of his three generations of ancestors, including his mother, have ever shown such a condition. When he sits on a stool, it is completely impossible to tell that anything is wrong with him. His body and limbs are the same as those of a normal person. The family is deeply saddened, as he is still a child and they really don’t want him to live his life like this. What is this condition called, and where can he be treated for it?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered to be a manifestation caused by cranial nerves. It is recommended to visit a cranial nerve department for consultation and consider acupuncture as a complementary treatment. In addition to receiving standard treatment for pediatric orthopedic diseases, patients need to consult experts frequently and maintain communication with their doctors. Patients should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis and treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
