Specializes in Pediatrics

Depends on history: Pain related to an injury can be caused by broken bones, stretched tendons or strained muscles. If the pain is noted on awakening, sleep position may be the cause. After a vigorous workout, overuse may be causing the pain. if the pain does not resolve in 3-5 days with rest and ice, see a Dr.
