After a really active day, our daughter woke in the night complaining that her legs hurt (both of them, front of calves, just below the knee). Bless her, she really seemed in pain - proper crying. She is 3 and a bit and seems absolutely fine this morning. We rubbed them for her, which seemed to help and did the 'standard' (Calpol - modern panacea!)


A quick google suggested it could be 'growing pains' - anyone else had experience of this? I have vague memories of growing pains as a child, but deep down I've always thought they were a bit of a myth.

I suffered with growing pains as a child. I grew quite tall quickly up to the age of 10 / 11 and then only a few inches since then. I remember pains in my hips, legs, ribs and my back. I'm not sure whether they were technically growing pains but that's always what my dad called them.

Ohhh....



My poor boy who's 9 gets them at night. Nothing a good vigorous rub won't get rid off though & at a push some Ibuprofen gel does a good job.


They are good old fashioned growing pains indeed


As an aside I had the "I don't want you to die Dad.." tears the other night, it near broke my stoney heart


I remember both of the above, must be par for the course






W**F

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
