What Causes Tender Legs And Arms In A 9 Year Old?
My 9 yr old son has been complaining of tender legs and today he said it was under his arm. Tonight he is complaining of nausea and a stomach ache. We have been home from a vacation about 10 days where we swam in a lake, and was in a highly wooded area. He did have bits on his back when we came home.....they have disappeared now. Concerned this could be a reaction.

Hi...by what you quote it could just be a fatigue also after a good swim, which is causing this pains. Nausea and stomach ache could be due to the insect bites (unknown). I don't think this is a allergic or anaphylactic reaction, which usually will be catastrophic and very fast progressive.
