My eleven year old son has had alot of pain in his lower half of his body for over 6 months now.It has been from his lower back sometimes but mostly in his legs.It has went past the point of growing pains that I had alot of as a child and that I see in other children.He wakes up hurting in th mornings and looks like an old man getting around.If he rides his bike or is on his feet alot he aches pretty severly sometimes.He is over weight a little.One concern I was thinkig of is when he was a newborn the tests for pku's was like murder for him and the nurses to get just a drop of blood.I don't think he has circulation enough.One more thing it looks like his legs are swollen and because he is a little chunky it is hard to tell.

Optional Information:
Male , Age: 11
