How is the disease diagnosed?

These conditions are diagnosed by the physical symptoms and signs in a very active child. In most cases, x-rays or blood tests are not necessary unless a child has unusual signs or symptoms. These may include fever, pain that is getting worse, pain at rest, or pain that awakens the child in the middle of the night.
