knot in leg after vax - Page 2

Along with the warm compresses you might want to try castor oil packs on it. Castor oil is great for drawing bad stuff out.

Def report it, they can't have accurate data about these things unless parents tell them.

Oh wow, that's a reaction I've never heard of. Do you have a source I can read more about it?

I also support the advice to have it noted in his records and reported to VAERS. No, in the grand scheme of possible reactions it is not major, but it still needs to be reported.

Only anecdotal -

For a few years my son would get a severe rash on one thigh. We had no clue what it was, or what caused it. Finally he figured out that when he carried change on that side in his pants pocket, within a day or so, it started. It lasted for several weeks, that's why it was so hard to make the connection. Of course he quit carrying change on that side once he figured it out.
We never knew why he had that sort of reaction on only one thigh. Weird! But we knew how to prevent it and that's all we were concerned with back then.

Many years later, here on MDC, someone mentioned this problem in their ds and it was suggested that the cause may have been the aluminum in vaccines?

My son did have the DTP vaccine when he was a baby.
