respected sir, I have a baby boy who is 2 years and 8 months old.He tells of pain in his both legs since past 1 month. Ours is a small house on 3rd floor and my baby is in front of my eyes 24 hours , I know there is no overactivity that my child does; instead I can say he cant get enough place to play. Then why he complains so.Pain is in daytime as well as in the evening. Doctor please help me . I d be grateful to you.
First let's try to locate the pain is it in his knees ? Lower legs ? Calf muscles ? Or is everywhere ? Does this pain prevent him from playing ? Does it awake him in the night ? If you press against his legs, does it hearts ? OK, if this pain is discrete and can't be located, and doesn't prevent him from activities, and no tenderness is felt when pressing on legs, and mostly pain is afternoon or the night, then there is nothing to worry about, it's called the non-specific lower limb pain of childhood, or some like to call it growing pains, anything else besides what I mentioned here is worrisome and needs to be investigated by his pediatrician I hope this helps
