Is it growing pain? What to do about growing pain?

Patient's question:

Pain in the joints of the limbs for more than a year, almost every day, without redness or swelling. The doctors I have seen all said it was growing pains. Previous treatment and effectiveness: taken calcium supplements, had X-rays taken, and had blood tests done, all normal. What to do about the daily pain?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your child's condition is fixed on a specific part of one foot, it's best to take an X-ray to rule out conditions like bone inflammation. If the pain isn't in a fixed location, I think it should be considered growing pains. Growing pains are a type of physiological pain that usually doesn't have a fixed position. Outwardly and through careful examination, there are generally no abnormalities. Rest and gentle massage can help alleviate the pain. I suggest you pay close attention and observe carefully. If necessary, you can take an X-ray to check. If there are no abnormalities, you can manage it as growing pains. In addition to massage and ensuring rest, you can also appropriately give your child calcium and vitamin AD supplements.
