Patient's question:
Excessive activity can easily lead to lactic acid accumulation in the interstitial spaces of tissue cells. What are the reasons for leg pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Due to the active and restless nature of children, the metabolism of cells in the body is vigorous. Excessive activity can easily lead to the accumulation of lactic acid between tissue cells, stimulating the nerve endings, which can also cause pain. This is why we suddenly feel body pain after intense exercise. Parents should pay attention to observe. If the child doesn't hurt during the day but hurts at night, it is most likely growing pains. If a child experiences growing pains, there is no need to restrict their activity or seek medical attention. If the pain is severe, the child can be allowed more rest.
