Accepted Answer

: There are various possibilities but not a growth spurt in my opinion. Any overuse? Do the pains occur while walking or at rest? Are they sharp or dull aches? Any ,tingling,numbness, weakness,tenderness,swelling or discoloration? A type of peripheral neuropathy has to be considered. A neurologist or rheumatologist would be best to evaluate &amp; advise you. Appropriate testing will be done.

It would be easier: To figure out in person. That not the case, i would look to see if she is flatfooted and if so get her arch supports. Knowing the site where the pain begins is important.

She could be in pain and compensating when walking making other body parts hurt.
