11yr old leg ache/ pain alot

[Keewro]

Hi,

Little advice needed about my 11 yr old daughter, ( 12 in june).

She has always suffered with growing pains from the age of 4 until prob last 18 months , she would always wake in the night in need of some paracetamol and a massage.
But for the past few month her achy legs have been during the day, not always necessarily after p.e etc, not always in the same place or leg, mainly in her shin and the bit where your ankle meets your shin at the front, never bad enough to give a limp, paracetamol and a good rub do make it go away, I'm just worried that its during the day now? But like I said it goes away, never in the same spot or same leg it seems to jump about , oh and heel pain that's a new one from the last few days.....
Now what has prompted me today is that when she was on her way out of school yesterday she said her knee just gave way for no reason, and now is painful behind her knee when she walks.
I had her laid on the sofa last night I was flexing her leg and putting it in all diff positions, the mobility in the leg is fine no pain, she can push with that leg against my hand that's fine no pain, it's just when she stands up, this morning she said it was gone, but just before setting off for school she said it started t hurt again.
One last thing she has been complaining of stomach ache lately, pretty low down so I am thinking this is just a sign her period is on it's way? As shes is already going through puberty and pretty sure this is the next step.
Now all I have mentioned above is never screaming in agony pain, its achy pain that does go away.
So i just want to know your guys opinion? Or any experiences of your own similar
Take to gp? See how it goes?

I'm sorry for the long message 😊

DS13 gets awful stomach pains from time to time and a few weeks after each episode we notice he's grown taller.

Last time was January time and he was also getting up at night and saying his legs hurt etc and I even posted on here about him waking me etc and how annoying it was. And then I noticed he had grown and when it happened again late spring I put two and two together

This week he's been complaining of pains again so bracing myself for a new clothes shop again!

Poor DD, the summer I turned 12 was absolutely agonising for growing pains. I remember it well and I'm well into my thirties!

People have already said hypermobile so I won't say it again ;) I am hypermobile, but in the hips not the hands. My sister's hypermobile in hands and shoulders and she still has issues. If you're worried about it you can take her to the doctor, as she grows she might find relief in a chiropractor.

Def get her checked for hypermobility.

Sounds like hypermobility to me too, I still do get random leg and occassionally wrist pains but they decreased a lot once I stop growing. The only way it bothers me IRL now is that I'm not good at chopping big vegetables.

Poor DS is going the same way, every Wednesday evening after tennis in the morning he has painful knees.
