What are the treatments for growing pains?

Patient's question:

Born in April 2007, with a sensitive allergic constitution. In February 2012, after having tonsil surgery, she began experiencing leg pain. X-ray examination results indicated it was growing pains. Further examination at Shanghai Children's Hospital Orthopedics confirmed the same diagnosis. She has been taking calcium supplements ever since and has been in pain continuously. Her condition improves slightly in winter, but recently, especially at night before bed, the pain has become severe. Sometimes she is helped with heat application.

Doctor's answer:

Personal suggestion is, first go to the pediatric health department for a comprehensive check-up and evaluation, then to the pediatric rheumatology and immunology department for examination. If it's convenient, would you like to come to Wuxi to see?
