Hello doctor, I have a 6-year-old son who complains of shin pain in the left foot once in every month before going to sleep. He is generally hyperactive. The next day when he wakes up he tells me that it does not hurt anymore. We did x-rays and blood tests all are fine. Please help.
Hello, Welcome to iclinq.com. Lower limb pains in growing children are usually benign. Normal blood tests and normal x-ray reports also point towards the benign nature of pain. Most probably your child is having growing pains. Can you please recall anything that is common before the pain starts like excessive physical activity or specific footwear? Please share the x-ray image and blood test reports. Start calcium supplements and regularly massage the legs before bedtime.
