My friend needs some Medical help?

It does sound like growing pains. My son has excrutiating pain in his thighs for it seemed like months on end. He would be in tears. I never experienced that myself but I do know others that had horrendous growing pains.

Oh my goodness, thank y'all so much for replying I was also wondering on the growing pain thing too. I myself have never experienced any, It sounds like it was terrible for some of you all. Hope is a tall child probably 5'1" and just nine years old. Thank you all I'm gonna google some research on growing pains, I knew my BYC friends might know something

. I pray that is all it is...

i remember when my 3rd boy was having them...i would give him this heavy glass bluebird and tell him to rub it on the area that was hurting and that it would help..and it did! he slept with that thing forever it seemed!

Oh bless your heart poohbear for bringing up the chronic pain conditions. I find that this is a typical drop the baton response from doctors and being lazy to find out what is the matter with someone. There has to be a first in diagnosing anyone, so it should not matter if she is adopted or not.
I too would contact the State/government to hand over health issues. But in the mean time, the poor girl, she will be in our prayers!
This is strange, but how about trying some tonic water? The one that has Quinine in it, add it to juice, smoothie or anything, the quinine is what they used to give people with muscle and leg cramping. OJ has the potassium and quinine may help. Back when we were doing a lot of walking, my type of arthritis would leave my muscles cramped, I'd mix tonic water 1-4 because I knew I'd drink the whole camel.
Even if its growing pains, there really is no reason to make a child suffer.
Have they checked the girls CRP, Rheumatology levels, mineral (blood) and bone density tests?
This can be a autoimmune disease- I have one that is of the connective tissue. In my forearms, middle of my biceps, ribs, legs and feet. Anywhere there is a tendon connection.
Good Luck and hope she finds something that works. Childhood should not be in pain.
