Hi My name is Melanie Gray and my son has 4q34. In the past he has often woken up crying of pain in his legs (I was guessing because he couldn't talk - 12 months old). This happens on and off. It recently happened again, this time at 2.5 yrs, because he can almost talk, he could actually tell me he had pain in his legs. He couldn't stand up straight. The other day also when having breakfast, his hands were shaking whilst holding the spoon. Has anyone had this? Is there anything in particular I can test for? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks Mel
