    Leg Pain in both kids?

    The last two mornings in a row my 4yr son has woken up with pain in both legs. He says it hurts behind his knees. Last night I was up half the night with my almost 2 yr old daughter who was crying "ow ow ow" and pointing at the outside of both her thighs.

    Do you think this is just growing pains or is it something I should have checked? When it was just one I wasn't concerned but now that it is both of them I am wondering what is going on with them. Gosh I am such a worry wart

    Maybe try some magnesium before bed?

    Leg Pain in both kids?

    Not sure but I would think its growing pains. Two nights ago my almost 4 yr old woke up crying saying his leg hurt. I asked where and he said in his bone! My 2 yr old shares a room with him and she will often copy him to no end, drives me nuts, could your 2yr old be copying too? If not then keep an eye on how often it occurs and see what a doctor or naturopath reccomends for kids! Mine was random and hasn't happened again so I'm thinking some growing pains!

    She definatley wasn't copying him as she kept me up crying ow ow all night, but her leg pain has not returned. His still bugs him in the mornings so I will try the magnesium and make him an appt if it continues. Thanks guys
