Negative symptoms are especially frightening when they occur simultaneously. For example, when, after a high fever, it suddenly turns out that a child’s legs hurt, this becomes a cause for concern for parents. Are these symptoms related? It often happens that yes. Let's try to figure out how - and what needs to be done if such symptoms suddenly appear in him.
The causes of these symptoms vary greatly. Let's look at the main ones.
Also, the reason why a small child’s legs hurt due to high fever is often due to the manifestation of hormonal disorders, various blood diseases, tuberculosis, congenital or acquired pathologies. All this also requires prompt diagnosis and treatment, so you cannot delay a prompt trip to the doctor.
Sometimes the causes of symptoms are very simple, not associated with any serious diseases. Here's what it could be:
Please note that it is usually difficult to independently verify that the reason is so simple and does not lie in a more serious problem, therefore it is often better not to take risks and not take rash measures.
Let's figure out what to do if these symptoms are identified. The first thing you can do in such a situation is to contact your pediatrician. In most cases, the cause of the problem is, if not frightening, then at least quite serious and complex - and only a specialist can quickly determine the real cause of its occurrence.
Do a quick check of your baby to see if there are any obvious visual signs that indicate what is causing the problem. For example, a purulent abscess may be found on the toe, indicating that an injury had previously formed and was ignored - and the child’s fever against the background of pain in the feet, calves, knee joint or other parts of the legs may be precisely because of this. If the nail is deformed, then perhaps the cause is a fungal infection. Finally, the nail could simply grow in.
If the problem has not been identified and the temperature is not too high (a temperature of 38 degrees is still acceptable), let the child rest and lie down. If there are no changes, contact your pediatrician.
To prevent this problem from occurring, you should take the following measures:
When a baby has difficulty walking, when his legs ache and his temperature is elevated, this may indicate that there are certain unresolved problems in his body. You shouldn’t panic, but you shouldn’t delay it either, otherwise you can only make things worse for the child. Contact your pediatrician after your child’s first complaints - and you will minimize the risk of developing and worsening problems.
Many diseases lead to painful sensations in the legs of children of different ages. What should parents do in this situation? It is important to promptly pay attention to the child’s complaints when he says that he has pain in the lower extremities. You must carefully monitor your baby’s condition, ask where exactly the discomfort is localized. This way you can prevent serious complications and identify pathology when it is just developing.
Quite often, unpleasant sensations are a consequence of bruises and sprains that occur when a child plays active games. Severe pain and swelling should not be ignored; be sure to have your child examined by a doctor.
Many children complain of painful sensations in their legs in the evening. Most likely, the pain is the result of stretching and growth of bone and muscle tissue.
The child should be carefully examined in case of swelling and severe joint pain. Perhaps the symptom is provoked by serious orthopedic pathologies - deviations in the pelvis, spine, feet, heart. Consult your doctor immediately if you suspect a fracture or injury in your child. Typically in this situation, the child begins to limp, the joints become very inflamed and red.
Parents should understand that during the child’s growth, the vascular system, which is responsible for nourishing the muscles and bones, especially works. Children grow very quickly, so all their metabolic processes increase. The fastest growing area is the foot and lower leg. In these places, blood actively flows through the vessels, but the small fibers do not have enough elasticity.
As a rule, in children, blood circulates well during the day, during which time bones grow. At night, blood flow begins to decrease noticeably, causing pain. What to do? How to help a child? Give a little massage, so the pain will quickly go away.
Unpleasant pain can be the result of congenital pathology - flat feet, scoliosis, poor posture. All of these diseases change the center of gravity of the body. Most often, one leg hurts more.
Pain in the legs can be accompanied by the following diseases:
Acute knee pain may indicate Schlatter's disease. Most often, the pathology develops in adolescence, when the child is actively involved in sports.
Children over 3 years of age often complain of pain in the calf muscles. Such symptoms indicate a lack of calcium and phosphorus in the bones and that the substances are poorly absorbed.
Attention! Leg pain in children can be a sign of serious endocrine diseases. Quite often, diabetes mellitus indicates problems with the thyroid gland and adrenal glands.
Some serious diseases of the vascular, cardiac and blood systems also manifest themselves in the form of severe pain in the legs. Unpleasant sensations arise due to reduced blood flow in the lower extremities.
Sometimes pain is a consequence of congenital underdevelopment of connective tissues. In this case, flat feet, scoliosis, varicose veins, and renal prolapse begin to develop. It is important to pay attention to pain that is accompanied by shooting in the joint and a sharp deterioration in well-being in the morning. These symptoms indicate leukemia.
Recently, painful sensations in the legs of children have been provoked by ossalgia; it is often accompanied by dystonia and is disturbing at night. Periodically, the child experiences discomfort in the heart and abdomen. The child also suffers from severe headaches and sleep disturbances.
Have you noticed that your child’s joint has become red and very swollen? In this case, you need to get tested because the symptom may indicate a serious infection. If measures are not taken in a timely manner, septic arthritis will begin to develop, which is dangerous for the child’s life. If treatment is not timely, the joint is completely damaged and irreversible processes begin.
When you notice that a child is limping, remember if he has experienced stress or violent emotions. Pay close attention to your child's mood. Did the child rest and feel no better? Pay attention to your shoes, they may be uncomfortable. Also carefully examine your fingers to see if they are inflamed.
You must carefully monitor your child in order to promptly identify and prevent complications of various pathologies.
Unpleasant sensations in the heel area indicate a sprained Achilles tendon. Is there pain in the middle of your foot? Most likely, the child has a disease of the arch of the foot.
When pain in the thumb constantly bothers you, you can suspect an inflammatory process of the skin of the finger. It is quite common for a child to develop water calluses. If they begin to crack, unbearable pain occurs.
If your child complains of discomfort in the lower extremities, pay attention to other symptoms:
When pain is caused by the child's rapid growth, take care of nutrition. The diet should contain enough protein foods, as well as foods rich in calcium.
Leg pain is dangerous and indicates a serious orthopedic pathology. If the disease is advanced, the child may remain disabled, so carefully monitor his well-being.
Therefore, a child's complaints of pain in the lower extremities should be taken seriously. Indeed, the pain may not be dangerous and indicates the child’s growth. Despite this, in medicine there are cases where pain is the first sign of the development of a serious pathology. With timely treatment, children recover quickly. Also, do not forget that the child jumps and runs, so pain may indicate a sprain or injury. If you suspect something is wrong, it is better to play it safe and consult a doctor.
My son’s legs constantly hurt - not too much, of course he can’t climb on the wall because of the pain, but he can’t walk for long - he walks for about 30 minutes and starts to ache. The pain, as I understand it, is mainly in the muscles, including the thigh and lower leg - despite the fact that for two years now he has been going to training in judo and orienteering every day except Sunday (where they generally run a lot), i.e. to say that the muscles were sore after exercise is not true. At first I thought he was pretending not to go to the store or something else, but now I see that he’s not - sometimes in the evening he’ll sit on the sofa and stretch out his legs, groaning like what a relief! . This has been going on for 4 months now.
Maybe it's just growing now? I remember my sister had really bad knees at that age. But Andryukha’s joints don’t seem to hurt.
What could this be and should I go to the doctors? Or get by with a massage?
Natalie, don’t you want a massage with therapeutic exercises? There are a lot of options and bone growth and flat feet. There are special exercises. 3 years ago, out of nowhere, my legs started hurting. I struggled for a long time. A little more load and I kept hanging myself. Can you imagine it turned out Flat feet level 1, which never existed. They showed me exercises, bought shoes with arch support - now I feel like a person. And visually, there is also a dimple.

I’ve never had flat feet, but I suffered a lot with my feet in childhood. My mother always made me some kind of wraps. Either they rubbed their feet with cologne, wrapped them in warm clothes, rags, scarves, or warming ointments. Wow, I was in pain. Usually it started at night, and at half the night, at night. But thermal wraps helped. A hundred pounds due to bone growth. With age, everything went irrevocably.
(from the book Ecyclopedia for Parents)
The term growing pains is used to refer to pain in a child between about 6 and 12 years of age, especially in the extremities. Although these pains bother the child and worry you, they do not seem to be related to the growth process and are not dangerous to health.
Sometimes these pains in the bones and cartilages during childhood, and therefore during growth, lead to the fact that the child begins to limp and cannot continue to play sports. The cause of these pains can be circulatory problems, infections, which require a medical examination to determine their origin .Defective blood circulation and excessive tension can lead to partial destruction or deformation of the ossification zone, which leads to mechanical pain that appears, if there is no infection, with increasing effort and disappears during rest.
If the pain is severe and recurring or there are other symptoms, consult a doctor.
My son is three years old. At night he wakes up restless, whines and says that his legs hurt. What could this mean?
maybe there is not enough calcium? does this cause cramps?

In addition to a deficiency of microelements (calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc.), there may be various neuromuscular diseases at this age, so the child must be examined by a neurologist. Growing pains at this age are not very common, since there is no such sharp jump - at the age of 3 years, the child grows quite slowly and evenly.
Home Children's health Why do my child's legs hurt at night?
A child can complain of pain in the legs at absolutely any age and, at first glance, without any apparent reason. In particular, parents are alarmed by the fact that their legs begin to hurt at rest, in a lying position. And, even more so, when the child cannot fall asleep or wakes up because his legs are “twisting” or “squeezing.” In order to understand why a child’s legs hurt at night and decide whether to see a doctor, it is necessary to understand the cause of this ailment.
Leg pain in children can be a symptom of many different diseases, from orthopedic changes to hereditary diseases. The cause may be cardiovascular, neurological disorders (both central and peripheral innervation systems).
Deficiencies of vitamins and minerals can lead to pain. Infectious lesions of the joints and soft tissues of the lower extremities are also accompanied by pain. This symptom also occurs in a number of diseases localized in other areas.
But, they all have their own characteristic features. And they are not limited exclusively to painful manifestations. Moreover, these symptoms are so pronounced and intense that concern about night pain in the legs fades into the background, and the child, as a rule, is already observed by a specialist of the appropriate profile.
If the cause is orthopedic changes, then you can find in the child a flattening of the arch of the feet, their incorrect position when walking (the initial form of clubfoot) or a valgus deformity of the ankle joint (in which the legs “fall” inward). There may be an X- or O-shaped curvature of the legs. The problem may be higher - all types of postural disorders, scoliosis, kyphosis and other deformities of the spine and chest.
Neurological causes of pain in the legs are likely in neurocirculatory dystonia, especially of the hypotonic type (with constant low blood pressure). In this case, the child will experience both cardiac (painful sensations) and intestinal (impaired peristalsis) symptoms.
Vascular diseases are mainly associated with insufficient blood supply to the lower extremities due to impaired venous outflow (with varicose veins or congenital heart pathology). Inadequate blood flow can also be temporary - in severe negative stress conditions (including fears and fears).
General (ARVI, a number of childhood infections) and local (arthritis, suppuration of the skin and/or soft tissues) inflammatory processes can also be accompanied by pain in the legs. Possible purulent melting (osteomyelitis) or aseptic destruction of a section of bone tissue (Schlatter, Schinz disease).
Insufficient intake of certain microelements (calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium) into the body can also be accompanied by muscle pain (even cramps) in the legs. The reason may also lie in a hereditary disorder of the structure of muscle and/or connective tissue. Tumors, including malignant ones, grow with pain.
“Night” pain in the legs, as an independent manifestation
In isolation, such anxiety often arises during the period of active growth of the child and/or during intense physical activity. In both cases, muscle fibers are overstrained throughout the day. When the greatest relaxation of the muscles occurs, the accumulated products of incomplete metabolism (lactic acid) and some substances inherent in inflammatory reactions of tissues are released from them.
The latter narrow the lumen of blood vessels, thereby making it difficult to remove metabolic products. Moderate swelling of the overloaded muscle fibers occurs, which also somewhat compresses the small branches of the sensory nerves. All this together leads to pain at rest. Otherwise, this condition is called “tension pain.”
As noted above, a child may describe the feeling of pain as “twisting” or “squeezing.” Manifestations can be very intense. He asks to stroke his legs (in the calves) and give him a massage.
A relaxing bath (slightly hot) with the addition of pine needle extract can quickly help cope with this manifestation. A light massage of the feet, calves, and thighs will complement the effect. The psychological effect of the “magic blanket” helps young children well.
If such manifestations occur regularly, consult your pediatrician.
It happens that a child is absolutely healthy during the day, but in the evening his legs begin to hurt. Or he wakes up in pain at night. What kind of disease is this and how dangerous is it?
These pains are called growing pains . They do not bother all children . and for some, the pain is so weak that children simply do not pay attention to it.
Their causes and mechanism of occurrence have not been fully disclosed. Doctors believe one of the reasons is that bones grow quickly, but the muscular system cannot keep up with them . As a result, the muscles and tendons become tight, tightly against the bones and compress the joints, causing a feeling of discomfort. The intensity and localization of pain can be different: most often it is the front surface of the thigh, lower leg or calf . One knee may hurt today, and both ankles may hurt tomorrow. Such pains can in some cases bother even a 3-year-old child, but they are most common among 4-9 year olds .
Growing pains in the legs can be compared to the sensations after heavy physical activity in the gym. Why do my legs hurt and at night ? During the day, the child walks a lot, runs, jumps, and participates in outdoor games, and thus the greatest load falls on the legs.
In many cases, growing pains can be caused by overexertion of tight muscles . The latter do not hurt when children play or exercise, but begin to hurt when they relax at night.
It is necessary to distinguish growing pains from muscle convulsions . Cramps are sharp pain, usually in the calf muscle, accompanied by spasms. With cramps, you can usually see muscle spasms. But with growing pains there are none.
There is also no definite frequency of these pains. They appear for no apparent reason . sometimes more often, sometimes less often. Today the child oohs and ahhs from aching pain, and tomorrow he runs around as if nothing had happened. The calves may ache for several evenings, and then stop, and the pain will recur only after a month or a year. Or they may disappear completely.
Leg pain in children can often be a symptom of a serious disease - rheumatoid arthritis . You should consult a doctor if pain is accompanied by the following symptoms:
Once your doctor has ruled out anything serious, such as arthritis, you can try a variety of remedies . to find out which ones will suit your child and help him with pain.
Doctors note that outside the home environment, attacks weaken or stop . But in any case, if you experience frequent leg pain, it is best to consult a doctor to make sure that everything is in order and that the child is really just growing quickly.

Very often among parents whose children are from 4 to 10 years old, the topic of pain in the child’s legs arises. What is this common occurrence in this age range? Is this normal or should we still sound the alarm?
Every day a child's body grows. During the period of intensive growth, a number of sharp changes occur:
From a medical point of view, bones are actively growing during this period, and muscles and tendons cannot keep up with them. They begin to stretch, pressure occurs on the joints, and an uncomfortable sensation arises, which manifests itself in the hips, knees, feet, ankles, and calves.
Children grow in length due to the growth of their legs (often the feet and legs develop faster). These areas of intense growth constantly need blood flow. The blood vessels in children are not yet fully developed, and there are few elastic fibers that would facilitate rapid blood flow. During active movements, the blood flow is normal; in a passive state (usually sleeping), the pressure in the venous and arterial vessels slows down, and the permeability to areas of growing bone tissue decreases. Doctors believe that this is precisely why the child’s leg hurts at night. Light stroking or rubbing the leg helps improve blood flow and eliminate discomfort.
But you shouldn’t always be careless about your child’s complaints about his feet. There are many reasons that are dangerous for further development; they must be found and eliminated in time. This is why you should not self-medicate, but always consult a doctor in time, who will prescribe thorough laboratory tests: a general and detailed blood test, urine test, and ECG.
Perform diagnostics using:
The specialist will ask in detail about the changes in the body of the person being examined. Complaints about discomfort in the lower extremities may appear after:
If an accurate diagnosis is established, treatment is prescribed that will help eliminate the unpleasant symptom. There are many reasons, the main thing is to identify them correctly. So why do children's feet hurt?
Pain in the legs can be due to orthopedic pathology, which can be acquired or congenital. If children have a lot of weight, then while walking a significant load is placed on the musculoskeletal system, modifications occur. When there is curvature of the spine (lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis), flat feet, the weight of the entire body puts pressure on the legs, in particular on the feet, legs, hips, and joints, which causes pain signals in these parts of the body.
Also, with congenital pathology of the hip joints, unpleasant pain in the legs occurs locally. Osteochondropathies (Perthes disease, Ostud-Schlatter disease) may be one of these causes.
With congenital pathology of the heart and blood vessels, children have poor blood flow to the extremities of the body; if you try the baby’s arms and legs, they will be cold, the pulse is weakly palpable. Children with this congenital condition constantly stumble, ask to be held, and complain of fatigue.
Due to anomalies of connective tissue in the heart valve, venous vessels, and ligaments in children, hypermobility of the joints, flat feet, irregularities in posture, and scoliosis occur, which causes the same unpleasant complaints.
A child’s legs hurt due to the following diseases:
Often, pain in a child’s legs occurs due to other circumstances:
You should always remember that you need to constantly monitor the proper nutrition of children so that the growing body receives the necessary vitamins, minerals, fats and carbohydrates on time. Let them spend more time in the fresh air, running and frolicking, while their shoes will be comfortable, with hard soles.
Listen to your children. After all, only parents can analyze everything correctly and sound the alarm in time. Be healthy and don't get sick!
Various diseases may be behind pain in a child’s legs, so parents in this situation should carefully consider this problem. We have collected material about what diseases and conditions can cause leg pain in children, what diagnostics are necessary to identify the cause of this phenomenon, and how to relieve pain.
At 6-7 years of age, additional symptoms appear: fatigue even with little physical activity, the feet, ankle joints and calf muscles begin to ache; worn-out shoes along the inner edge of the sole and heel; swollen and heavy feet in the late afternoon; as well as their deformation, which leads to an awkward gait.
1. Osteochondropathy of the tibial tuberosity or Osgood-Schlatter disease.
2. Aseptic necrosis of the femoral head - Perthes disease
2. Associated with a congenital disorder of blood supply to the hip joint.
2. The femoral head is destroyed within four years, then completely restored. At the initial stage of the disease, no symptoms are observed.
Pain gradually increases, localized in the hip and knee joints, which leads to lameness.
Because of a sore throat, it is not the muscles that hurt, but the inflamed joints, which leads to rheumatism.
An antipyretic pain reliever will help relieve symptoms.
2. The cause of development is ARVI of streptococcal etiology.
2. Classic symptoms of rheumatism are headache, lethargy, and fever. Nonspecific signs include: shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, pain in the heels and spine.
The disease can also be triggered by stress, nervous breakdowns, physical and psychological stress.
If you experience pain in your legs, a visit to a specialist should not be put off for a long time. He will determine not only the nature of the pain, but also establish the cause of its occurrence, rule out pathologies and prescribe competent treatment.
To establish an accurate diagnosis, you may need the help of the following specialists: pediatrician, orthopedic surgeon, traumatologist, hematologist, neurologist.
To reduce leg pain in a child, you need to:
Please note that painkillers can only be used as prescribed by a doctor.
Influenza is a rather dangerous disease that often causes various complications, especially in young children. In particular, many children, after an illness, complain of pain in the lower extremities.
Moreover, if the baby has a fragile physique, he may additionally experience crunching and coldness in the joints. If the child is large enough, painful sensations are usually accompanied by swelling of the legs.
In the human body, both adults and children, blood circulates continuously in a large and small circle. If the blood circulation pattern is disrupted for any reason, a cluster of cells may appear in the lymph nodes that fight the infection and try to prevent its further spread.
With influenza and other colds, under the influence of infectious agents that have entered the body, disturbances in the normal functioning of the circulatory system may occur. This situation is especially common when chemicals - antibiotics - are used to treat the disease.
Since when a child has the flu, there is always a response of protective cells, they can settle in large quantities on the lymph nodes and joints. Under such circumstances, various disorders of the baby’s immune system may occur, in which both sick and healthy cells of the child’s body are attacked.
It is this process that has an extremely adverse effect on the joints. The child may experience intense pain in the calf area, limited mobility and rotation of the lower extremities, aching joints, and pain during flexion and extension.
If a child’s legs hurt, both during and after the flu, it is necessary to consult a doctor for an examination and prescribing appropriate treatment. As a rule, the following anti-inflammatory drugs are used in this situation:
In addition, a significant effect can be achieved by using herbal lotions and compresses, medicinal baths and massage. In particular, baths with the addition of sea salt, a decoction of birch leaves or pine needles help well. Fresh birch leaves and buds can also be used for lotions.
To prepare compresses, horseradish and cabbage leaves are best suited - they must be scalded with boiling water, held for a few seconds, and then hot, but not scalding, applied to the baby’s legs. The top of such a compress should be covered with paper and a scarf, and removed after a quarter of an hour.
Finally, a child who has any complications after suffering from the flu needs to get as much rest as possible, eat right and avoid nervous stress and shock.
According to statistics, leg pain most often occurs in children aged 3 to 10 years. Their causes are often various injuries (bruises, sprains of muscles and ligaments), but it also happens that a child has no visible causes of pain in the legs. In this case, you cannot do without contacting a pediatrician, since pain in the joints or muscles of the legs can indicate many different diseases.
Let's look at the most common causes of leg pain that occurs in childhood. Of course, only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis, but it doesn’t hurt parents to know what disorders and diseases can cause leg pain.
Peculiarities of childhood. During the developmental period, a child experiences intensive growth of his legs, and especially his legs and feet. In children under 7–10 years of age, there may be a deficiency of elastic fibers in those places where active growth and tissue changes occur, and this leads to insufficient blood supply. During the day, while the child is actively moving, blood circulation is normal, but at night, blood flow in developing parts of the body worsens. In such cases, parents notice that the child’s legs hurt at night, although he feels fine during the day. A light foot massage helps to cope with pain, as a result of which blood flow increases.
Violation of metabolic processes. If a child's calves hurt, this may indicate insufficient intake of phosphorus, calcium and potassium. This disorder can occur in children over 3 years of age. A child's rapidly developing body requires increased amounts of microelements for normal bone growth, and their deficiency can cause pain in the legs.
Orthopedic disorders. Leg pain in children can occur due to flat feet, poor posture, scoliosis and various joint pathologies, which can be either congenital or acquired. All such disorders lead to a shift in the center of gravity, in which any part of the leg is subjected to increased pressure, which leads to pain. In such cases, the localization of pain can be different: the child has pain in the calves, feet, hip, knee or ankle joints.
Chronic infections and diseases. Pain in the legs of a child can be caused by the presence of an infectious process in the body, congenital pathologies of the heart and blood vessels, the development of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatism or blood diseases. In addition, there are a number of diseases that disrupt the normal mineralization of bone tissue and ultimately cause pain in the legs. These include diseases of the adrenal glands, diabetes mellitus, diseases of the parathyroid gland and other endocrine disorders.
Cardiopsychoneurosis. With this disease, the child’s legs hurt at night or after being in a stationary position for a long time. In addition to the fact that the baby’s legs hurt, the child complains of a headache, lack of air and discomfort in the abdomen and heart.
Minor injuries are the most common cause of leg pain. In such cases, no special treatment is usually required: after some time, mild bruises and sprains go away on their own. But if the injury is accompanied by severe swelling of the joint and severe pain, you will still have to visit a doctor.
Please note: a small child is not always able to sort out his feelings and independently understand that his legs hurt. Does your child complain that it is difficult for him to walk or that his legs are tired, but cannot show where it hurts? This should already be a reason for a medical examination.
It is also necessary to seek qualified medical help in the following cases:
Urgently! Legs hurt after flu
I have an urgent question:
My daughter was very ill - 6 days 39.5 then normal for a week, we went to donate blood - the upper limit of normal, and apparently we caught something again - again 5 days pace. 38.8-39 and cough, runny nose. The doctor came and said that this virus is now something to fight off with Nurofen. Today it’s been 5 days without a fever - we went outside, and in the evening I started complaining that my legs hurt. In min. On the 30th, such hysteria began that I already called an ambulance - they arrived, stood there, and said if they got sick again, give me Ibuprofen. If they get very sick, call them and go to the hospital.
Here on the forum, girls wrote that this was a complication after the flu. Please advise how to relieve the pain if it happens again (the pain seems to have gone away right now).
Sorry if it's long - I was very scared.
If it’s now then it’s a dick
will relieve pain and inflammation. He helped us.
You can apply diclofenac 1% (recommended to us at the hospital)
+1 We, too, have an orthopedic surgeon in a similar situation. 1% Diclofenac Health was not prescribed to be smeared.
amazing, for children, diclofenac hurts the liver
But if you smear it, does it also hurt your liver?
I don’t need it yet, I’m planning on it for the future
For some reason, many women think that having a child and becoming a mother are the same thing. One could just as well say that having a piano and being a pianist are one and the same thing.
alas, it sits hard, my mother has been like this for many years
uses ointments for pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis. So diclofenac helps with pain in the legs, but the liver is felt immediately
I will support Against diclofenac.
I recommend the doctor (in a personal message) who helped us. We did an ultrasound first. They confirmed fluid in the joint, there was more on one side. He prescribed treatment, then a follow-up ultrasound a week later, there was much less fluid, after which he was allowed to walk. before this max. peace.

The doctor always advises us to rest for at least a week after the flu.
The body is weakened and walking is still no use. I am now sick with this nasty flu - my legs hurt so much that I was howling. I put myself on complete bed rest - it’s already easier,
we had this happen a week ago
also a blood virus. at night at T 38 he began to scream wildly, not just cry, but actually scream. I understood that there were convulsions. the child is 1.9 and he decided that something had bitten him ((((was afraid to go to bed. There was also an ambulance, they didn’t say anything sensible. That didn’t happen anymore. He didn’t complain about his legs. We’ve already recovered, and we wish you the same !
Cramps are not that, it’s that my leg hurts so much that
The child cannot be turned from one side to the other. Not to mention sitting down or walking.
My son had this (he ended up in 2 hospitals +
They suspected everything: polyradiculoneuritis, rheumatoid arthritis and a bunch of other things. in the end it turned out to be myositis of the lower extremities (maybe I was a little mistaken in the name of the diagnosis, I’m writing from memory). It’s like a complication after the flu on the nervous system due to intoxication of the body (we were observed for a year by a neurologist, we took the prescribed treatment: a complex of vitamins B, E and something else for the heart (I don’t remember exactly). At one time there was an inhibited reaction, then everything was restored. And Now I clearly know that my child needs to bring down the temperature above 38.5 C, it is mandatory (otherwise immediately convulsions), it is necessary to give medications with ibuprofen (regardless of the temperature), a sorbent is required to cleanse the body (intoxication) and drink plenty of fluids, and of course bed rest).
Find a competent neurologist, or better yet more than one, consult and get well)))
By and large, children should not suffer from any pain, because their body is not yet worn out and therefore, if it has diseases, it is in a minimal amount. However, children, no less often than adults, complain of various pains, including pain in the legs. It is best to find out the reasons without delay, because they can be different.

Causes of leg pain in children
According to statistics, children aged 3 to 10 years most often complain that their legs hurt. This is understandable, because children who are not yet 3 years old, by and large, do not put much strain on their small limbs. They, of course, more or less know how to walk, but still spend most of their time in strollers or in the arms of adults. And such a baby is not yet able to fully complain, even if his leg or legs hurt. Children under 3 years of age may experience pain in their limbs mainly due to their own clumsiness: they often fall, hit something, or simply lose their balance and land poorly. It’s not very pleasant, but it’s not dangerous, and what’s more, it’s useful. In this way, kids learn coordination and coherence of their movements.
Children aged 3 to 10 years quite rightly complain of pain in their legs. Fortunately, this is also not dangerous, just not particularly pleasant. This age period is a phase of active growth. But it is carried out mainly due to the growth of the legs, or rather, the legs. Tissues, including bone, require a more active blood supply, which overloads the vessels. Although they are wide, in children they are not nearly as elastic as in adults, so they cope poorly with their load. Hence the result – pain and even numbness of the lower extremities, frequent cramps or a feeling of “coldness” in the legs.
In the overwhelming majority, such troubles overwhelm the child at night or in the evening, when he is already getting ready for bed. During the day, while he is active, blood circulation is still more or less at the proper level, but in the evening and at night, when his body is at rest, such a temporary deficiency due to rapid growth begins to appear “in all its glory.”
You can steam your child's feet in a warm bath or give a light massage, then put warm socks on his feet. If necessary, let him sleep in socks.
If pain appears after some kind of injury, for example, a fall or bruise, then it makes sense to consult a traumatologist. The absence of external signs in the form of damage or hematoma does not at all guarantee the absence of internal damage. Only an experienced physician can install them. There are times when a child gets a crack in a bone or even a small fracture, but the injured area does not swell or the swelling goes away quickly and the child will only feel pain. But an incorrectly fused bone may well become a source of problems in the future, so it is definitely not worth ignoring the pain of the limbs.
If your legs hurt and twist before rain or a sharp change in temperature, that is, “due to the weather,” then you should definitely get examined and donate blood for a rheumatic test. Rheumatism can manifest itself already in the first year of life and such a disease should not be started.
Sometimes the child’s body does not have enough calcium, as a result of which there is discomfort that the baby mistakes for pain. He cannot explain exactly how uncomfortable he is and it is easier for him to say that it hurts. In this case, vitamins that contain calcium will be useful. A natural source of this microelement is sesame. It fills this need of the body much better than any fermented milk product.
