Poor Luke :(

Comment Published at 06:5806:5824 comments24 comments27 Visits27 VisitsReport

I just spent that last 30-45 mins rubbing Lukes legs because he woke up with those blasted growing pains..........I was laying on the lounge watching some telly when I hear him grizzling, but let him go for a bit as it didn't sound like he was very distressed. He keeps going so I go in to check on him and he's all curled up into a ball grizzling, so I ask him if he's ok and he says no, I ask him what hurts and he says his legs. I gave him some panadol and he cuddled up with me while I rub his legs. He took a while to settle and was quite upset at the pain which I understand completely as I used to suffer terribly from them as a child and still do. He just kept saying "it hurts mummy"  It's heartbreaking to watch.........

He's now fast asleep and hopefully he'll sleep right through.

Re: Poor Luke :(

awwww, poor little man...My husband suffered them so badly as a child and there isnt too much you can do about it is there?? Well you couldn't back when he was a child....I hope he gets some good sleep tonight as well as you. I hate seeing my children suffering and not being able to console them....

im sure your cuddles and rubs was the best medicine!

Re: Poor Luke :(

I suffered badly growing up too and was told by my doctor there wasn't much I could do but Nat and Arna have suggested to up his salt intake....I've never heard of it before but I'll give it a go, It can't hurt.

Luke definately settled down once I started rubbing his legs and gave lots of cuddles. It's horrible feeling so helpless.....

thanks na xxx

Poor Luke.  You could try and up his salt intake a bit, it does help with muscle and bone aches.  Let's hope he stops growing soon! lol.

Re: Poor Luke :(

hey chook

sorry to hear luke is hurting :(

just thought id let u know somethin i was told recently not sure if it will help? growing pains can actually be caused by some sort of salt deficiency? salt tablets can help i spoke to a mum and daughter who suffered and now take the tablets and shes had no probs since, maybe give that a go? i think its salt phosphate that helps? dont quote me on that though.

hope he feels better soon.

Re: Poor Luke :(

Oh don't you know it..........he's most certainly running round causing havoc.

It was horrible watching him last night. Afterwards he looked so beautiful and peaceful.

Thanks Cazza,

He's fine today. Those episodes are few and far between but when they do happen it's pretty bad. It breaks my heart to watch especially as I still have them, and so, my boys are more than likely to suffer for a while yet.

Once he was asleep he was fine and was so peaceful. It's just horrible to see your child in so much pain and all you can do is reassure them they're ok and keep rubbing their legs........not much fun at all......

Yes he sure wasn't happy, all he knew was that he wanted me to keep rubbing his legs. Bless him, he looked so peaceful once he fell asleep again.

Re: Poor Luke :(

 Awww poor darling. I had growing pains. I hope he doesn't get them to often. You still get pain in the legs? What does the doctor say about that? Sorry, just curious.

Re: Poor Luke :(........Cath

When I was still having them as a teenager my Mum took me to a naturopath and she said it was due to poor circulation so I take Ginko Biloba tablets. As it seems it's hereditary, I'll have to watch out for that with my boys. It seems to happen when I'm either really tired or worn out or have done a lot of walking.
