Pain in legs: She needs to be examined to see if she has flat feet or other leg conditions before thinking about leukemia.

Take her in: Leg pain in children in this age range is very common. While there are scary things out there like leukemia, they are very rare. The cause of most leg pains are not dangerous things and can be determined by your doctor with a physical exam and xrays of the legs. If there is any other concern, blood tests can be done to rule out other causes.
