Patient's question:
My daughter has been experiencing leg pain since she was young. She went to see a doctor, who said it was due to growth pain during puberty. Now she is 19 years old and still in pain. Last night, the pain was so severe that she couldn't sleep at all. Last year, she had an examination at Xuzhou No. 2 Hospital, but no results were found. Please advise on how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello! Your condition is likely to be a case of growing pains. This refers to pain in the area around the knee joint or the front of the lower leg in children, with no history of trauma in these areas and normal activity. There is no redness, swelling, or tenderness in the local tissues. Growing pains often occur when children have relatively high activity levels and rapid growth of long bones, leading to a lack of coordination between the growth of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, resulting in physiological pain.Advice: The most important thing is to rest promptly. Avoid excessive exercise. Appropriately supplement calcium and oral vitamin C. Use a hot water bottle for warmth at night. If necessary, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications can be used. There will be no long-term consequences or impact on normal growth and development. However, first check for the possibility of rheumatic fever or bursitis. Wishing you good health.
