'Growing pains' question... - Parent-2-Parent & Reflux in Children

**~ Jennifer ~** · May 6th, 2006, 04:58 PM

Tyler has been complaining ALOT about his joints being ache/hurting. I thought maybe 'growing pains' but would they affect his arms to?

Hmmm. Adam complains about his shoulders hurting every once in a while. Maybe it is growing pains.

Is it more the joints....or kinda non specific pain?

If he has persistent joint pain, maybe he should see s dr to rule out any swelling....just a thought. Although I tend to overeact about joints b/c my kids keep popping them out LOL!

All 3 of us girls (me and sisters) had baaad growing pains - but I only remember my legs - ankles, shins, and knees mostly. Doctors told our folks it wasn't as common in girls b/c girls don't "spurt" as much as boys - more gradual usually. Has Tyler hit a growth spurt? I guess I also assumed it was b/c of weight bearing on our legs. Has he been really active and maybe lightly sprained something? Is it both arms? Poor fella - too young to feel so old.
