Pain In Legs?

Question

My 8-year-old brother won't shut up about pai in his legs. He has had trouble standing, walking, and getting out of bed for the past couple of days. Is it growing pains? We walked and swam last week for about 4 hours, could that be it? Is there anyway to get him to feel better?

Answer 1

It could be "growing pains" but, if it persists I would see a doctor about it. It shouldn't be this bad for this long. Don't berate him, he could be having trouble.
