Grand daughter with leg pain.

My 2 1/2 year old grand daughter has had chronic leg pain for a few months now. Its the same leg, same area, and its always at night. She creams with pain and the tears break my heart for her to be in pain and I don't know what to do. There is no apparent bruising that is visible, no falls or any thing of that nature. Is this something to worry about or am I just over reacting.... I have raised five children and I have no memory's of my children having growing pains of this nature if that's what this is.

With it being this extreme I think that you should visit the doctor are you looking after her, or tell her mom to take her for a check up.

I watch her during the week when my daughter and her husband both work. I bothers me that I can't figure this out. But yes I am going to talk with my daughter and have her take her to be checked out.. Thank you.
