• I have a young child with chronic weakness and pain?

My 7 year old son has chronic weakness and musculoskeletal pain. He has felt this way for 2 weeks now. What specialist should I see for a child suffering from this?

I would still start with primary care but Pediatric Rheumatology may be necessary

Start with your regular pediatrician. If that doesn't work, see a neurologist. Hopefully, this is something that is self limiting and will pass, but you need to see the pediatrician.

Hope it helps!!

You could start with his pediatrician but he may need to see a neurologist or podiatrist for testing to rule out various causes of his pain and weakness.
