What is the reason for a 3-year-old child's leg pain and inability to walk?

Patient's question:

My child is a 3-year-old boy. Today, he suddenly said his legs hurt and couldn't walk. The right leg can be bent, but when he tries to straighten it, it appears very stiff and cannot be fully extended. However, he can crouch but cannot walk, as if his legs are weak. How is this possible?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, based on the child's condition, it is possible that there is a slight issue with the muscles.
Advice: Hello, it is recommended to first get an X-ray taken and seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause. There are many reasons that can cause growing pains. If the child is confirmed to have growing pains, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
