Jarrett's Transient Synovitis

Monday night Jake had a baseball game (they won) Jarrett was completely fine playing with the other kids. Before bed he told Mommy his hip was hurting. He woke up in the middle of the night several times in a lot of pain. Mommy was on the phone with Daddy in the middle of the night trying to figure out what to do. She took him to the doctor in the morning, but by then he couldn't even put a little weight on his leg or move it at all. Mommy carried him into the doctors and even that hurt. Turns out he had transient synovitis of the hip. With transient synovitis the pain comes on suddenly and quickly, but only lasts 24-48 hours. It occurs after (most commonly boys ages 4-10) having a virus. By dinner Jarrett could put some weight on his leg again and the next day he only had a slight limp.
