Ghost Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I figured this would be the place to put it.What are the symptoms of growing pains (aside from the obvious), and what are the effects (and side effects)?Have you known of any way to help alleviate it or it's side effects?Thanks.

gillygirl Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 How old is your child? My daughter had a lot of muscle soreness, didn't sleep well, really bad leg cramps. The doctor gave us an antihistamine to give her at bed time to help her sleep (she also has allergies). He told us to keep her well hydrated and get her moving and some exercise. He also suggested bananas to help with some of the cramping.A side effect for her was the rapid growth made it so she had NO concept of herself in space. She was running into EVERYTHING, stubbing toes, hitting her head on things. For that the dr suggested getting her into a dance class or something to teach her body awareness. Since her sister was already in karate and she had no interest in dance we went with karate. It has helped a lot.Not sure if this is what you were looking for or not, but maybe it will help!
