4 yr old with knee pain

by Bmo311, Sep 19, 2008 09:35AM
My 4 yr old daughter has been complaining of knee pain for about the last few weeks.  It hasn't been continuous pain and she usually complains in the middle of the night or early morning.  I thought possibly "growing pains" but now I am wondering if we she get her looked at?  Any ideas or opinions?

Ok i am wondering the same thing. My DD just woke up to night screaming on leg pain. I thought growing pains. Then she kept say the top of her leg. So then i thought well maybe she is having a cramp. I tried to rub her leg. She kept say no the top. Finally i got it that she meant her knee. She has never done this before. I was wondering if you ever found anything out about your DD's leg pain. My dd is also 4.

My daughter is having the same problem.  She is only two, but has been complaining of knee pain for a while (3 mos or so).  She wakes up crying in the night because her knees hurt.  I usually give her motrin, and she will make it through the night.  Besides growing pains, is there any other "problems" that this can indicate.

Hello, my daughter is 3 yrs old.  SHe had the exact same symptoms.  Knee pain in the middle of the night as well as in the morning (more so in the morning) after visiting with her pediatrician and ortho they have concluded she has JRA (Juvenile Rheumatiod Arthritis).  SHe has seen a pediatric arthritis specialists as well.  This is definately something you should bring to your pediatrician's attention.
