What Causes Soreness In Legs Of A 2 Year Old After Bowels?
My two year old daughter is crying and saying her legs are sore after doing a poo in the toilet. This has been happening for over a week now. She crystal her legs are sore and won t stand up. Sometimes it lasts under a minute sometimes a few minutes. Could you help me with what may be causing this please?

Hi..this could happen in some kids after they stay put in the same position in loo for a long time. This happens due to temporary decrease in blood supply to certain parts of the body especially legs and will get relieved in few minutes after changing the position and the best way is to avoid keeping the legs in the same position.
