Question : Hi,

My daughter is 9 years old. She's complaining for a while by now by foreheadache and neck pain, and middle back pain, she has a blurry vision in her left eye, she's feeling cold from time to time; from time to time she's mentioned wobbly legs. She is a happy child and very hard working.
We have another Optician appointment in few days because she can't use the glasses prescribed to her.
Thank you so much.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I recommend you to visit an orthopedic doctor because of the problems with spine and neck. I think she may be suffering orthopedic problem like scoliosis or muscular disease such muscular dystrophy. She needs to an X-ray of spine and neck. The headache comes from the neck problems and even for eye problems.
