growing pains do exist..12yo with pains in both ankles

[milou2]

he's sitting on the sofa with a hot water bottle at this very moment. I'm just mentioning it so anyone who doubts the existence of growing pains can stop doubting!

for your ds. Hope he's ok.

I had dreadful pains in my legs at about the same age and the dr said they were growing pains. Turns out they were caused by my leg bones twisting as they grew. I've now got knees that face in very strange directions!

So if it continues for a while please get him checked out

i remember them well i always had them in my knees and shins. not much you can do except painkillers....
hope he feels better soon!
