18 Month Daughter, Suffering From Leg Pain, Twitching, Limping. Should I Meet A Doctor?
my 18month old daughter has been experiencing on and off again leg pain. at night it seems her legs get really restless. twitching and kicking her legs. some nights i have to rub her legs untill she goes to sleep. today my baby sitter said that she was limping and crying while she rubbed her leg. but she was fine since i picked her up. she is kneeling and running fine. like she not in any pain at all. could thi just be growing pains, or should i take her to a doctor

Hi
Welcome to HCM!
Yes,pl show her to the pediatrician.
You may have to rule out low calcium/vit D in her.
Growth pains is a diagnosis of exclusion when you exclude other diseases.
Good luck
