3 year old with leg pain
by jkcs, Jan 17, 2008 09:54PM
My daughter has been complaining of leg pain on and off for about two weeks now. Yesterday it brought her to tears and again today. Everytime I ask her where it hurts, she points to either her thigh, knee or calf area. The pain is intermittent, no swelling that I can see, no fall that I remember. No other symptoms. My first initial thought was growing pains, but wouldn't it be in both legs? And would it bring her to tears? Also, I thought growing pains were suppose to happen mainly at night. I was researching on-line and found osteomyelitis. She did have a severe ear infection about a month ago in which the dr told me she has a blister in her ear it was so bad...could this turn into osteomyelitis? Any suggestions?

To: jkcs - 3 yr old with leg pain
I hope you get a response. I also have a 3 yr old daughter who will complain of knee pain. It was only happening at night time when she was extremely tired or if it woke her up in the night it was on a night when she went to bed really late. So we try very hard to keep her schedule regular to avoid this, but it's been happening more frequently lately. Just this morning she complained of it in the morning which included her foot. My email is pitche_jones***@****. Thanks :)
