My ds, 8, has been complaining of intermittent leg pain on and off for a good few months. It tends to happen in the evening and at night but is getting more frequent and he complained about it this afternoon. My concern is that it's only ever in the right leg. He used to say he had cramp so we would stretch it out and not think much more of it but the pain lasts longer than cramp should. I then just assumed it was 'growing pains' but have subsequently read on the NHS website that that happens in both legs. He is very active and sporty, and aside from looking a bit pale at the moment he's eating fine etc. I should probably add for transparency that I'm suffering with anxiety badly at the moment and I'm convinced it's serious. I have a GP appt tmw but I'm terrified.
