Pre-teen w/”loose, achy” knees
(2 discussions)
My very active 11 yr old daughter (4 hrs of dance/week plus cross country in the fall) complains that both her knees feel “achy and loose” on days of high activity (approx 3 times/wk).
Her pediatrician says growing pains but the ‘loose’ is what makes me concerned.
Since both knees are affected, injury seems unlikely. I’d hate to schedule a specialist appt. only to be told growing pains again.
I’d appreciate any advice.

Can you explain what you mean by “specialist appt.”? I have seen this term, on this site, before, but don’t know what a “spesenoredt” is? Is that anything similar to a PT (physical therapist)?

Apparently this site encrypts certain words. I actually typed the term used to describe a “medical professional who practices a certain discipline”. *Spec ial ist*
