So recently I was with my six year old son and I had realized something abnormal when he started to complain about his leg after walking a while. At first I thought nothing of it, then when I looked because he said it wouldn't stop hurting him his calf appeared to be swollen. This worried me but I figured I would look again tomorrow. When I looked it appeared the same and I decided it was time to have it looked at. As we talked to a doctor he said he can't be sure without some proper DNA test or a CPK test. We did both and the doctor said he believed it was Duchenne. A disease found more in boys than girls. I asked what the progression of the disease would be since I had never heard of it. Well lets just say that things may not be the greatest if what we were told is true.
