What Causes Weakness And Pain In Legs?
my almost 4 year old grand daughter started out about 3 weeks ago saying her legs were tired and she would want to sit. this was even in short periods while I would be doing her hair, sometimes while playing she would ask to come sit on my lap so her legs could have a rest. she progressed to saying her legs hurt and a couple nights ago she woke up crying with the pain. I laid with her and after a few minutes of her crying, thrashing I gave her tylenol. she finally calmed down but continued moaning and rubbing her legs together. this morning she was saying her chest ribs were hurting and tonight her foot hurts and feels funny.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
It is very common to have leg cramps particularly in children, as they play a lot. It may also be due to deficiency of vitamins and salt. SO, for time being give her a body massage with pain killers. And feed her well with green leafy vegetables from tomorrow. All the best.
