What Causes Chest Pain In A Child While Jumping On A Trampoline?
My very athletic 8 year old son has been recently complaining of chest pain while jumping up and down. He went hiking with a fairly large back pack a few days ago and now when he jumps on a trampoline or does jumping jacks he says his chest hurts. What could be the cause of this?

The cause of his chest pain can be musculosketal due to the heavy backpack he was carrying..
The only medicine he requires is a painkiller gel for local application over the site of pain.. And he should rest and avoid strenous exercise till the time he gets relieved of the pain.. And this can take few weeks to resolve..
