A member asked:

My 8 yr old son is complaining that his leg cold and hurts on the inside? he is an active athlete.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Observe: The child being active is reassuring. The questions u need to answer for a better assist are: since when are his complaints? Does he continue to run and be active, how does he sleep at night? does he eat well? Is he in a lot of pain? If you are remain worried have him checked out by his pediatrician or a pediatric bone doctor.
