A member asked:
I have a 3week baby , she cannot stretch her right leg but can move and when i touch it she cries in pain. we went to see a paediatrician and did an x ray nothing is broken all is normal, what could be the problem ?

Passive stretches: The leg may have been in this position in utero. It will take time before she can stretch the right leg. If the x ray does not reveal a fracture, discuss passive stretching exercises with your PCP. If she is otherwise well and without signs of infection, this may resolve in a few weeks.
