pain in fingers and toes

[Atlanta_mom]

Hi,
My 4 years old son complains that something (he calls it little pain) is always in his fingers and toes, however, he also experiences extreme pain once or twice a day. It is very painful to watch him to corp with the pain. It seems like he has to press them so hard to relief the pain or hit them on the wall or floor. I've taken him to rheumatologist at a major children hospital, but he's not been diagnosed to have any serious disease, such as reynolds disease, as they do not turn pale or purple at all. His blood work result was normal. I'm now trying to research what causes this particular pain in  my son's fingers and toes on my own as we've seen 2 specialists without any diagnosis. Please help. Thanks.

Hi, did you read what Superman said above?  Also interesting is the Krill Oil to help the nerves. Good luck!

Hi I was just wondering if you ever got to the bottom of this my daughter is experiencing the same pain in her fingers and toes we have been to many Drs but all we go was low iron and low vitamin Dbshe was put on medication for both. She then finished them and her levels were normal but she still got the pains and have had no follow up appointment

Hi... even my 6 yr old son is complaining about the same uncontrollable tingling pain in his toes (not in his fingers so far). This I have noticed only when he is tired and is sleepy or about to sleep. He will ask me to press or prick all his finger tips real hard at a time. He also experiences tingling feeling his penis, may or may not be linked to the finger tip pain.

Today he mentioned that he experiences same pain in school too and hence he has to remove his shoes and prick his toes. So I just started my research, someone please update if you have found a solution.

Note: I noticed that most of the children facing this issue are 6 yrs old boys.

Hi - my 7 year old daughter has had pain in fingers and toes and legs since 4 years old - have followed this thread with interest and thought I would feed back. We have had a significant decrease in pain levels through giving her vitamin D, silica, a homeopathic called calc carb. We had her bioenergetically tested and that came up with the silica and vitamin D deficiencies. She still needs to crack her fingers and toes but now it is a couple of times a day and not all the time. She can sleep and sit and relax and is not in constant discomfort to pain. I hope this information also helps some other children - My dtr continues to improve and we are hopeful her condition will resolve eventually. I wish you all the best. Sharyn

Did you get any answers and did it go away?

[shazza_64]

Yes , I did get answers  and yes it has completely resolved. The medica profession was absolutely no help whatsoever attributing my daughters’s signicant pain levels to ‘growing pains’ and dismissing her with a ‘she’ll grow out of it’ attitude. To the regime described above, we increased the dosage of Calc carb, added magnesium oil and acupuncture.

This is a general response kaplishah and not necessarily meant for you. 1st make sure your child is getting a well balanced diet! Talk to a nutritionist or your pediatrician not only about what your kids eat but also how you prepare it and that goes for all parents! Its weird the issues that eating right eliminates all by itself. 2nd part of a parent's job is raising their children, preparing them for the adult world. If you give your kids everything they want, never let them experience failure (which is the only way to success) and realize the sun still comes up the next day, and that working hard for something and achieving it despite the obstacles and naysayers is a feeling all the new gadgets in the world isn't going to give them. 3rd try krill oil unless your kids are allergic to seafood. My daughter has sensory integration disorder and she uses it as it coats the nervous system. Our therapist explained that naked wires on the phone lines would have a great deal of static. Coating the wires makes the sound much cleared with less interference. If it is a nerve thing might help.

My son is having similar problems means pain in leg fingers and toes and he is also allergetic. He has a peanut allergy. As he has allergy we do not give him peanuts. Is this pain related to peanut allergy?

Hi - My 6 year old daughter fits symptoms and behaviours exactly as described. We find she gets some relief with magnesium tissue salts.... it has certainly lessened the amount of attacks but they are most severe when she is at rest or standing still. If she is active and running around she doesn't get symptoms till she stops. THanks for the tip on iron and vitamin D - will look at both
