Unbearable Pain

My mother-in-law was concerned about my son’s neck. She had experienced two children of being diagnosed neck rigidity and required physiotherapy. When she noticed that my son tends to turn to one side, she asked me to bring him to see doctor. On 25 Mar, we brought him to one physiotherapy centre in Jln Ipoh. Upon arrival, the doctor checked if he can turn to right and left sides easily. He tended to stay longer on the right side but NOT left side. She then suspected the left neck is inflexible. She twisted my son’s neck 180 degree. My son cried out so loud. I think the pain was unbearable and I also cried out seeing him being tortured in that way. After almost 10+ twist with some stops in between, the physiotherapist concluded that his neck rigidity is mild and she couldn’t tell which side has problem. She even asked us to let him sleep on his stomach to check if he preferred to sleep on one side. Puzzle??? Not sure if this therapist is good enough.. Need to seek for second opinion.

4 Apr, went back to Pantai to consult his birth PD. Did some test and confirmed no problem. Huh! No more torture for my son.
