Where is the pain: The location and type of pain is important. Is there joint swelling? Are the boys growing fast - could be growing paints. Do they exercise or are they video game couch potatoes? This could be deconditioning. Stated as long term - how long? Is the course changing for the best? For the worst? Where is the joint pain located? Which joint (s)? Which side of the joint? We need help guidance.
