My DS1 who is 9yrs old has been complaining of leg pain on and off for 3 months or so. the last few weeks it seems to be happening more regularly. Last night I found him on his bed sobbing his heart out, saying his left leg (shin area) was hurting. I gave him nurophen and a hot wheat bag which seemed to settle him. Should I take him to the Doctors just to check it's not something else or does this sound like usual growing pains to you mumsnetters?
He has also had dizzy spells for the same amount of time. Kind of getting up too quickly kind of dizzy.?/
