Patient's question:
Health consultation description: Leg pain, similar to growing pains, has been present since childhood and occurs several times a year. It often appears after a day of constant activity. There are also other types of pain with unclear causes. During the pain, the location is not fixed, and at its worst, walking becomes impossible. Rheumatoid arthritis has been checked, and the results were negative. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
Growing pains generally refer to leg pain during the growth of long bones in children under the age of 10. If you are of this age and experiencing non-fixed pain, it cannot be ruled out even if a thorough rheumatic examination shows no positive indicators. Rheumatic tests include a blood sedimentation rate, human leukocyte antigen, antinuclear antibody, and a series of autoimmune indicators. In addition to not knowing if your uric acid is high, it may be necessary to check your uric acid levels, as some people with high uric acid may also experience widespread muscle pain and joint pain.
