A member asked:

9 yr old son is complaining of leg pain & headaches every morning & night for the past 2 weeks. could this be growing pains or something more serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could be...: ...Something more serious, but more likely it's growing pains. The leg pains are interfering with sleep, which in turn causes headaches. Nevertheless, be on the lookout; if symptoms worsen or there are fevers, have your doctor check him out.
