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

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
