Foot balm for my daughters growing pains- recommendations for any other natural !
Question:
Foot balm for my daughters growing pains- recommendations for any other natural products?
I massage 'Perfect potion cooling foot and leg lotion' from the Body Shop for my three yr old daughter growing pains in her feet/legs however for such a small bottle it is quite expensive. has anyone else used a similar product that is good quality that is more reasonably priced.
I have to massage this in every night before bed - otherwise she wakes up in the middle of the night with leg cramps and sometimes finds it hard to walk.
Otherwise does anyone have any other home remedies - that may be of assistance?
Answers:
Have you taken her to the doctors? I had this with my daughter. I would be up three?four times a night. They kept telling me it was growing pains. But i ept going back and saying that there was a pattern and illness or some other things triggered it off. They gave her a blood test (not nice) Turned out she She juvenile arthritis. It took two and a half years of me keep going to the doctors to get them to listen. She now See's a pediatrician every two months and things (fingers crossed) are getting better.
Any massage oil is good. use something like Almond oil and add a few drops of something nice. I used lavender as it would help her sleep.
Good luck. I hope it all stops soon :o)
