Fell down and hurt foot/leg
Hi moms, my almost 2 year old fell down in the dsycare a few days ago. They said she was going down the stairs on the play structure when she fell from one step. We took her to be seen by doctor and also urgent care, they said no fracture. Also no swelling or bruising. But she does not put weight on that foot since the fall. She refuses to walk and Im carrying her around or she crawls. Has anyone had a similar experience? Is it because she is afraid of the pain? Im worried and not sure what to do.

@Laura yes they did, its not a perfect one because she wont allow but from what they can see no fractures. And she is doing all kind of things like hopping on her knees on the bed and playing but refuses to walk.
I say follow your instincts. If you need a second opinion, go for it. I've seen moms do it before and it turned out to be the right thing to do.
I agree with @Laura ! I'm really not certain but I would assume it's unusual for a toddler to continuously not be using their foot. A second opinion is always a good idea
I’m a pediatric nurse and if she isn’t putting weight on it I definitely would get another opinion. She could have a hairline fracture that would be hard to see on x ray.

Did they do an xray?
