Has your child ever complained of leg pain waking them from their sleep? They may be experiencing “growing pains.” It is unknown what causes them, but it may be linked to a lowered pain threshold. Growing pains usually affect both legs and occur at night. Some things to help your child through this are:
· Leg massages
· Heating pads
· Warm baths before bedtime
- Pain relievers such as Advil or Tylenol (AVOID aspirin due to risk of Reye’s syndrome-a rare but serious health condition linked to giving aspirin to children).
