A member asked:

Please tell me what can cause pain in lower limbs (calves) in children?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Growing pains: Usually calf pain in children that happens mostly at night is due to growing pains. Massage and plenty of fluids during the day will help and it should resolve after a few weeks. If your child is having pain during the day that stops them from playing or lasts longer than a few days, consult your physician.
