I have a 4 year old son who keeps hurting his knee and as soon as he does it he cant walk and then cries that it hurts. After about an hour he is fine. Should i be concerned because it keeps happening so often?

Knees are funny things , and when children get growing pains it is the knees and legs that hurt,maybe he has also found a way of getting some extra attention so next time play it down ,see if he forgets it quicker.I doubt if there's anything wrong ..good luck
