Patient's question:
My child is now four years old, and since he was over two, his knees have started to hurt. He experiences intermittent pain in both legs, alternating between them. When the legs hurt, he cries in the middle of the night. The pain lasts for about five to six hours, like a series of spasms. He doesn't feel pain anywhere else, only in his knees. The pain subsides for a while, then returns, and he cries again. Sometimes he hurts for a few days at a time, and other times it happens every ten days or so.Doctor's answer:
