Toddlers: 24 Months+

Growing pains?

Has anyone had this issue with their toddler? My son just turned 2 and has been stumbling, waking up crying inconsolably, crying when we turn corners in the car. For 2-3 months now. I took him to orthopedic and his bones and joints look physically fine and in place. They recommended Children's for ped specific care if it continues or gets worse. The last few days have been a bit better. Today I'm taking him to my chiro lady and see if the helps. Just curious if anyone else has gone through this before. My other 2 didn't have any issues.

  • What about checking his Vitamin D levels?  I was reading something in Parent's Magazine about a little girl who started complaining about her bones aching, it was so severe she stopped doing anything active, gymnastics, that type of thing.  They
