Growing pains are known to be related to fatigue, restless leg syndrome, low pain tolerance or vitamin D deficiency. These can be a result of an active day with playing, running and climbing.

Juvenile idiopathic Arthritis

It is the most common chronic rheumatological condition in children which affects children younger than 16 years of age and lasts 6 weeks or longer. There are 7 JIA categories:

• Oligoarthritis
• Rheumatoid factor positive polyarthritis
• RF negative polyarthritis
• Systemic arthritis
• Psoriatic arthritis
• Enthesitis-related arthritis
• Undifferentiated arthritis

The cause and trigger of JIA is still unclear but genetics are known to play a role. It causes pain and swelling in one or more joints and can also affect the child's movement or strength. An early diagnosis is essential to prevent any permanent abnormality.

Trauma, fracture, sprains or strains can also cause muscle or joint pain in children.
