10 year old and niggly little symptoms

My dd is 10 and generally healthy. The last few months she has had quite a few headaches - she wears glasses and I have had her eyes tested but they are fine.

The last month or so she has been complaining of aching legs but it only seems very mild as it doesn’t stop her walking anout normally. She has also seemed slightly quieter than normal but again not much!

Today she complained of having “jelly legs” (her words) and I’m starting to worry that these things are linked.

Our gp is not the nicest man in the world and I am 95% sure he will dismiss all of this as she looks pretty well BUT I have a niggling worry about her in the back of my mind.

Could these thing be growing pains of sorts?
Would you worry about her? Or am I seeing problems where there are none!

Any recent vaccines? Maybe too young to have had the hpv jab, but severe headace and a host of other issues are known "side-effects".

No nothing like that at all - last vaccines were the preschool vaccines .

Where is the most pain in her legs? And with her jelly legs does she feel faint on changing position or how does it come about
