Last Saturday night my 8 month old, Gabe, jumped off the end of our bed. He did not cry out but was noticeably favoring his RIGHT FRONT leg. By the next morning he only limped for a few minutes after awakening and since then the leg has been fine. Now, I notice when he awakens from a nap and begins to walk he favors his RIGHT HIND leg. (I have not witnessed any other accidents since Saturday night.) There are no signs of discomfort and after a few seconds of walking it is completely gone. He runs, walks and prances without any sign of pain. However, I do notice that when he is eating he may not put his full weight on the leg, (not that he can't but he just doesn't.) Any suggestions as to what may be causing this? It doesn't seem normal to me.
