How to treat lower limb pain in children

Patient's question:

Approximately once a week, I experience leg pain for two or three minutes. This has happened three times so far. I visited the Children's Hospital, but it didn't get better. Today, I visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. The treatment history and effectiveness so far: No significant improvement. What kind of help do I expect: Please help me find the cause and solution.

Doctor's answer:

From your clinical diagnostic data, it is more likely that you have growing pains. The recurrence of this condition is often due to the child's relatively high activity level and rapid growth of long bones, which are not coordinated with the growth and development of local muscles and tendons, leading to the recurrence of physiological pain. The recurrence of growing pains generally does not require special treatment. The most effective solution when the pain recurs is to provide the child with local massage and cold compresses to help reduce the pain level and ensure the child feels cared for and secure.
