Lower Leg Pain, Ankle Pain, Taking Ibuprofen. Family History Of Osgood Schlatter's Disease

Thanks for the query.
Osgood-Schlatter disease is a painful swelling of the bump on the upper part of the shinbone, just below the knee.
The main symptom is painful swelling over a bump on the lower leg bone (shinbone). Symptoms occur on one or both legs.
The person may have leg pain or knee pain, which gets worse with running, jumping, and climbing stairs.
The area is tender to pressure, and swelling ranges from mild to very severe.
Osgood-Schlatter disease will almost always goes away on its own once the child stops growing.
I don't think that she is suffering from this disease.
I feel she is suffering from osteomalacia called as rickets in children where there is softening of bones due to lack of VIT D.
She may require large doses of VIT D and calcium.
Please consult a pediatrician and get her investigated by getting
Bone X-ray,serum calcium,serum VIT D,serum phosphorous etc.
I hope to have answered you query however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
