A member asked:

My daughter of 11 years of age has been having growing pains and going to bed much earlier lately. can growing pains cause fatigue sometimes?

Growing pains won't lead to any serious health conditions and they usually resolve by late childhood. However, frequent episodes may have a major impact on your child and your family's daily routine. Growing pains may cause daytime tiredness (fatigue), reduced physical activity and missed school.

It would be prudent to consult her pediatrician to rule out depression as a cause of her symptoms. Depression is a chemical imbalance in brain and not a moral failing. Effective treatments are available for depression. Wish you and your daughter good health!
