What Causes Pain In Leg Along With Vomiting And Fever?
My son just turned three on september 30, 2014. He complains alot about pain and I always thought he was just trying to get attention or maybe just saying it because i have chronic arthrtitis pain and he always hears me say im hurting and then his dad will rub my neck. For the past month or so he has been telling me that his left leg hurts and he always wants me to rub it but there is no brusing or anything and he hasn t injured it. he also gets fevers often and vomits often. Should i be worried. For some reason the word cancer keeps popping up in my head.

The mentioned pain could be growth pain wherein your child could have genuine pain and not be crying for attention. Chronic arthritis is not relevant at this age. Cancer does not seem relevant for the mentioned details.
The cause of frequent fevers and vomiting needs to be evaluated although I do not think it to be something severe and. Please do not worry. Please visit a pediatrician and get your child assessed.
