paed in germany says growing pains dont exist and only calls what ds has "unspecified pain". gp in london says they exist and its common in children during growth spurts.
ds (3) gets achey feet and legs and can*t sleep. a bedwarmer helps most of the times but sometimes we give in and give him half a dose of nurofen.
these "eposodes" are about once a month for about 4 nights.
we make sure that his shoes fit well and that he gets plenty but not excessive excercise. diet is varied.
does your child gets this? how do you deal with it?
