Patient's question:
Recently, my aunt's child has been complaining of leg pain, and it always happens when they take a nap during the day. At night, they often shout in pain, and it's always their left leg. Many people say it's growing pains, but why does growing pains only affect one leg?Doctor's answer:
Growing pains are something that many children experience repeatedly. This is usually characterized by intermittent, recurrent lower limb pain. These pains are temporary and are typically located around the knee joint. However, each person's situation is different, but the duration is not too long, generally lasting from a few minutes to several hours. After recovery, it's as if it never happened again.
