My six year old has been having troubles with bilateral knee pain and abdo pain. The pain always comes at rest generally just before or at bedtime. Took him to the doctor, she thinks it is 'growing pains".
The knee pain I can live with, it settles with massage and hot packs, ( being an ortho nurse I also had them xryayed to rule out a bilateral osteosarcoma!!, this is my paranoia showing ), but I haven't come across abdo growing pains before.
I guess I'm asking if any of you have? The pain always settles within half to an hour and he's otherwise well..
