What Causes Radiating Pain From Foot To Knee In Kids?
My 9 year old son started complaining with his foot hurting at the top of his foot where it meets his leg. This morning he complained of his knee hurting. He said the pain moved from his foot to his knee. He plays football, soccer, kickball or runs laps at school and won t stop when I tell him to take a day off. My husband has had two knee surgeries for a torn meniscus (he wrestled when he was in high school he is know 29). Could knee problems be inherited and could the fact that my 9 year old is so athletic have sped up the knee issues?

Hello,
As your son is an athlete, there might be possibility of sprain of ligaments at the ankle or knee which is causing pain. You should consult orthopedic surgeon. After clinical examination, orthopedic surgeon may advise x-ray or rest and pain killer medicine like Ibuprofen.
