7 Year Old Daughter With Constant Aching Limbs, Back And

7 year old daughter with constant aching limbs, back and eyes. Clicking shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle joints. Constantly complaining of pain.
As a toddler she had clicking joints, maybe once or twice a month, no pain and it never bothered her.As she's got older it's become more frequent and now it's daily and affecting her mood and ability to give 100 % to subjected like PE.
We saw doctor last week, he said there was nothing wrong with her but he'd like to assess her again after Christmas.
Am I just a paranoid parent of a child with growing pains or is there likely to be something more to it. Two members of my family have arthritis and I can't help fear the worst.
Thank you
Jacqui
