Growing Pains treatment in Aguascalientes

Growing pains are muscle discomforts that some children experience, usually in the legs and frequently at the end of the day or during the night. They are usually passing and are not related to a problem in the bones or joints.

How they present: The discomfort appears in the calves, thighs, or behind the knees, almost always in both legs, and disappears in the morning without leaving any aftereffects.

When is a checkup worthwhile? If the pain is constant, affects only one leg, is accompanied by swelling, fever, limping, or limits movement, it deserves an evaluation.

Who evaluates it? The pediatrician is the first point of contact and, depending on the case, can provide guidance toward other specialties. For any concerns about your child's discomfort, the best course is to discuss it with a professional.
