[quote=Anonymous]this happened to my DS at about 10. He complained about it off and on for a year. I finally took him to see an orthopedist. He was an older man, and as soon as DS told him his symptons the Dr said, "I think I know what it is, but we'll take an xray just to be sure". He looked at the xray and said, "Yep, just as I thought.. it's growing pains. All my kids had the same thing". The bones on his feet were growing, and for some kids, it can cause pain. DH said when he hit puberty and really started to shoot up, he had a lot of pain in his feet and legs. He would rotate his feet in bed to find relief in his ankles and feet. To this day in bed, he rotates his feet out of habit. Get your kid to an ortho to confirm this, though. Obviously, no one knows on here for sure. BTW, the doc also said my DS was about a year to year and half behind on bone growth. He is on the shorter side for his age and is hitting puberty late.[/quote]
