Dd1 (7) always complains of pains

Every morning she wakes up she complains of pain somewhere (head, knee, etc). Is this a simple age related thing or should I be worried?

Does she like school? Is it a ploy to stay at home and not go to school?
If not, and she seems fine at school, perhaps note down where she says each pain is for a week or so and then take her to see the GP. Show them the pain diary and ask if they can help?

Same here, my DD(7) complains of various pains - legs, arms, shoulders, stomach, boobies Shock...all at different times..so I know she's not making it up. GP has declared she is perfectly fine. So unless she is not able to do her normal stuff - I am assuming this is 'growing up' pain or fatigue from games/PE or just bad posture when watching TV

She never wants to stay home, though there are some issues there. I think it's her way of getting attention but I do sometimes wonder if there is not something more sinister. I'll keep a note and take her to the dr if she's still complaining next week. Thanks!
