Brief Answer:
Need elaboration....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your description is too short. But I have recorded some details from your previous communication with a pediatrician.

Leg pain is not unusual in young children as they grow. Children overgrow this type of pain gradually and eventually. However as the previous doctor recommended, it is a good idea to see a doctor to rule out other possibilities of nutritional deficiency, anemia, blood disorders and trauma. Calcium supplement will benefit too.

Please continue as advised earlier.

Regards
