What Causes Pain In Legs And Feet Of A Child?

Hi, my 3 year old persistently says that when he sits for too long his legs hurt. This happens even after sitting on the toilet, or in the car seat for a ride in the car. He says his feet hurt, his legs, and its always tingly inside. I m just wondering if I should be concerned.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Pain threshold varies considerably between different individuals, and you need to first consider if your son has a low threshold for perception of pain and complains earlier than other children pursuing the same or a similar activity. If you think that his threshold is NOT LOW but he still has pain on consistent basis, you should try pain-killers like paracetamol or ibuprofen. If these are also not useful, you should take him to a paediatrician or/and an orthopedic surgeon.
