Taken ds 3.5yrs to dr a couple of times as he constantly complains about pains in his legs, arms etc. This has been going on since he has been verbal (around 2) If he sits for too long he struggles to walk after, if he rides on someone's shoulders he is pain and tears when he gets off, he frequently says his legs hurt, his back hurts, his arms hurt. Dr has never really looked at him just dismisses it as growing pains. I just worry, may be it is growing pains but it seems quite extreme to me. He is physically very mobile, pretty boisterous, very active, developmentally he's fine, and is strapping, well built and quite stocky (not overweight but broad across ribs/ shoulders). Dh really suffered with his knees and speed of growing, he now has large calcified lumps under each knee as a result of rapid growth spurts but if it is this I feel I'm getting no support in preventing him having the same issues.
