Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain And Leg Pain In A Child

My son was jumping on a trampoline with a Boy Scout group. He says he didn t mean to jump off, but did and when he landed, his feet and back hurt. A few days later he did a great deal of walking outside at an event and was wearing hiking boots on the big side. He has continued to tell us that his feet and legs hurt to walk . He says his legs are sick.

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Due to jumping he may have got stress fracture. Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. It can be confirmed by MRI of affected leg. Another cause if it is not related to jumping then it can be due to vitamin deficiencies. Vitamin, calcium and trace elements supplements can be of help. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
