A member asked:
3yr old has leg (shin) pain usually in one leg on and off for over a year could this be serious? is this a symptom of cancer? :(
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be seen: It is not really a normal complaint for a three year old to consistently complain of pain in the leg for a year. So I would certainly take him in for an exam and appropriate studies.
