Hi this post is about my son. I'm worried about him. His not a child he is thirty years old. Ten days ago his face in front of his ears swelled up and glands. He went to A & E. The Dr there said she's almost sure it's mumps.
He didn't bother going to the Dr because after being told that at the hospital, he checked all symptoms online and said that's definitely the mumps.
Ten days after the swelling has almost gone, he has been OK but told me today that his leg has been playing up since Sunday, so this would be seven days after the glands came up. He said his leg feels funny and he can't walk properly, it's not doing what he wants. Then today his leg gave way when he was out and he fell on the floor. I am so worried about him. Does anyone know could this have something to do with him just getting over the mumps?
