A member asked:

How can i tell if my 4 1/2 year old is having growing pains? he's complained of right knee/leg pain a few times a week, mostly at night for a month.

GROWING PAINS: Before you conclude its only growing pains, have him checked for other problems, lab , xrays and thorough physical exam by your doctor.

Get it checked: "growing pains" unlikely at that age. See your pediatrician.
