What youâre describing fits well with a resolving muscle strain around the upper thigh/hip flexor area. After a strain, children often limp for a few days even after pain reduces, mainly due to muscle guarding and stiffness, and tenderness on pressing the area is common. The feeling that one leg looks longer is usually apparent, caused by altered posture or pelvic tilt from the limp, not a true limb-length difference. As long as there is no increasing pain, fever, night pain, or inability to bear weight, this is not worrisome. The limp should gradually settle over 5â10 days; encourage rest from running/jumping, gentle movement, and observeâif limping persists beyond 10â14 days or pain worsens, then an orthopedic review is advisable.
