Answers:
It is growing pains, but I would take him to the doctor to be sure if I were you!.!.!.

Yes!.!.!.You are exactly right!. My older son has that pain each time before he has a growth spurt!.

Just give him some Tylenol and maybe a warm bath!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My kids haven't complained about this type of pain but it sounds like he may have shin splints!. Runners frequently get these due to the exertion of running and pounding of the pavement!. Runners will stretch prior to running and to stretch this muscle all you have to do is point your toe downward and rock the foot from side to side!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is probab;y growing pains!. How long has been complaining about sore legs!? If it has been a long time, call his peditrician and go from there!.
ABout a month ago my 4 year old sat at the kitchen table and was sobbing because his legs hurt soo bad!.
I gave him some children's motrin and a warm bath and the next day he seemed fine!.
best wishes to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it's the bottom half of his legs in the front it's his shins!. It's most likely growing pains, but when I walk or run I get shin splints!. They're pretty painful, and I get them easily!. It could be that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

most likely just growing pains =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
