Pain behind the knee-4 year old

[animalmom]

I have a 4 year old who has been complaining about pain behind his knee.  It was accompanied by a fever.  Today, he has no fever, but will cry when he moves his leg the wrong way.  He is an extremely healthy and active kid, so for him to not want to move around because of pain is a bit odd.  I was told that growing pains happen at this age, but mostly at night.  This has been ongoing for 2 days now from the minute he wakes up until he falls asleep.  Any suggestions?

Did you get any info about your daughters behind the knee pain?  Experiencing the same thing with my 6 yr old son.......

My 4 1/2 year old son has been complaining about behind the knee pain occasionally for about a year, but last night he woke up crying about the pain.  
I'm very curious if anyone here has a diagnosis.

I posted about this earlier in the month.  My 4 yr old daughter has been having the same issues.  I thought it was just growing pains too.  Sometimes it does affect her throughout the day where she will actually limp and refuse to walk on it.  Very unusual for her to not want to walk.  Any new diagnosis, please post?

My youngest brother had this same thing.  My father took him to the doctor, then started him on calcium pills and it went away.  Growing pains are not something that everyone just has to "deal with".  Seriously, pain is not part of growing up.
