Just researching as to why our 15 year old son has been having leg pain for years. I assumed it was growing pains but am concerned as he s experiencing pain and stiffness. He also has a mild bulging disc at L5 S1. Took him to doc Friday and will find out blood results Monday and X-ray results

Hello,

Consult a physician and get evaluated.

We have to rule out possible causes like juvenile arthritis.

As of now, you can give him drugs like Paracetamol according to the body weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
