My 3 years old girl has feet pain a night?
My 3 years old girl has feet pain at night.she will cried out in pain thru'out some nights.i have read the previous about growing pain,but it was mention mainly on legs and knees.Anybody has the same experience as mine on her feet?Brought her to pead,suspect calcium or vit B12 deficiency,supplement given with not much improvement.Please advise a worry mother.
My son had that problem when he was around that age. The doc suspected an iron deficiency (anemia). He didn't do initial blood work, just instructed me to put 1-2 drops of liquid iron in his juice 2x a day. I guess it worked because a few weeks later everything was fine. He did say if things did not improve that they would do blood work because bone pain can be caused by many different things.
When he was having the pain, I gave him Tylenol/Advil combo, and wrapped his feet in a heating pad set on low. It helped both of us sleep at night.

it could be restless leg syndrom. that is usually most bothersome at night.

restless leg syndrome, or blood circulation.
my grandfather had a blood circulation problem.. but massage her feet…
when i was young, i had that too. its probably growing pains =]
im sorry, it sounds sad, if it gets any worse, go to the doctor =]

my son has the same thing, he has had it for about a year now…he will be 5 in january. I have had him to a couple doctors and they all say the same thing….GROWING PAINS. He will wake up in the worse pain, and the first time it happened I almost took him to the ER. I have found that is happens most when he has been walking alot that day…like when we spend the day at the zoo or a park. If I know he has walked a lot that day, I will give him Tylenol or Motrin before he goes to bed, and usually it works. But when he does wake up from it, I use Lotramin and just massage his feet, and give him some motrin…usually seems to work within 10-15 minutes. Hope this is helpful! Take Care, and just know there are other moms out there going thru the same thing!
