8 yo DD aches and pains over her body

She has complained about them almost on a daily basis. Both legs sometimes one. Sometimes the pelvic area.
We had blood tests done which came back normal. The GP referred her to a paediatrician but we won't be getting an appointment for a few months by the sounds of it. Can anyone explain what this could be?
I just thought it would be 'growing pains' but can't be sure.

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid answer but could it be Hyper mobility? Did dr run that out ?

I know nothing about it so I'm probably being thick

I had this when younger and it was put down to growing pains. Is she anywhere near starting her period? I always had horrendous pelvic pain and pain elsewhere, as an adult I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and endometriosis. Do painkillers help at all?

Has she grown a lot recently? My 7yo DD gets pains in her thighs around a growth spurt, but she is tall and growing fast, 3 inches in the last 10 months.

@Whatwouldscullydo that is a thought. She isn't super flexible though. Is that a definite symptom?

@pannikin she isn't near to starting. I know some children start periods at 8 but the ones I know (worked in education), have been more developed.

@HalfShrunkMoreToGo she is tall and gangly

I just don't know what to do- everyday she has aches.
