Do Children Experience Leg Pain?

Yes, they do! This is often referred to as "growing pains" and typically affects children between 3-4 years and 8-12 years of age. It's not pathological and doesn’t involve the joints.

Involves only one leg.
The joint may be inflamed.
Affects the child's physical activity and daily routines.

Managing Growing Pains:
Usually self-limiting.
Bed rest and warm massages can help.
Paracetamol may be used for pain relief if needed.
No special medical intervention is typically required.
