DD complaining of feet hurting at night....
We will call the doc on this one too, but I just wanted to see if anyone else experienced this. DD is 3 years old and at night she complains that the insides of her feet hurt- achey-somtimes to the point of crying about it. I asked the doctor at our last visit- the pains were less frequent but now the complaints have been daily for a few days. We thought it was growing pains and he said it could be because she walked fine. Anyone experience this?
Re: DD complaining of feet hurting at night....
I'm wondering if that is it- only really a nighttime thing
DS goes through this occasionally. For like 4 months straight, the only way he would go to sleep was if I rubbed his feet for 30 minutes. I got SOOOOO sick of it, but it never seemed to bother him during the day, just at night after a long day of playing and running around. So I sucked it up and rubbed his feet (and sometimes his legs hurt too) and it never got worse so we never went to the doc.
Good luck. I attribute it to growing pains but who knows. The only other thought I have is could her shoes be bothering her? Does she need more arch support, etc?
DD had tendonitis and it hurt her wose in the morning when she woke up. I'm not sure why, but that was one of the questions the doctor asked (bone spurs also hurt more in the am).
I'd take her to her pedi. Mine told DD to take a week off of ballet and gymnastics (she also got a note for gym for one week). The doc said she just needs to rest and it will heal with time.
You can try having her use one of these:

It's designed for plantar's but I like to use it after a long day on my feet. Dh has problems with his arches and this also helps relieves his pain.
It's only $5 and she could do it herself.
Hello, just a lurker here, but my daughter used to go thru the same things. She is 11 now but she had major "growing pains" growing up. her feet would hurt or her knees, legs, etc. Mainly at night.
Something about being on them all day, then at night they start to relax and hurt.
Massaging always helped. The doctors said she would grow out of it also and for the most part she has. She just grew very fast and her body was aching because of it. She wears a size 10 shoe and is 5'4" at 11 years old.
I know this doesnt help much..but Ibuprofen would work when it got really painful.
