If your child’s doc says not to worry, do you generally not worry?

Question

My family doc sent my 10 month old to a pediatrician (theyre hard to come by in my area) to check out one of his legs since he only crawls with one leg.
The pediatrician said to my face that everything is completely fine.
My family doctor said he wrote in the report that all is good, just his left knee portrudes mildly out a bit (bow leg or something?) but no concerns and no worries at all
I cant stop worrying though since the ped didnt say this to my face and just said all is good and bye
Does anyone else overly worry like this?

Answer

Nope. I tend to be very trusting in health professionals. They have years and years of experience and have seen numerous things over and over again. He didn’t tell you specifics as it doesn’t change the verbal response he gave you of “all is good!” 
Google will always place a negative spin on things and give you worst case scenarios.
Also asking people on a forum will not be specific enough to your child - who is very different from their child who may have had a similar issue. 
If you’re truly worried get a second opinion but you’ll most likely be told the same thing and be wasting your money and yours and your child’s time.
Have things re-reviewed in a few months if things haven’t changed.

Answer

If it eases your mind, you can always get a second opinion!

A little bit of bow leg is actually pretty common, I had this concern with 1 of my kids but I've noticed a difference over time. With things like this, I tend to give it a little time, if it's persisting bring it up again or get a 2nd opinion.

If they say it's good, I usually trust them.
