Ep. 13: How to advocate for a child experiencing more than just growing pains‪?‬ Inflamed Sisters Thriving

Children experiencing physical pain can often be dismissed as just having growing pains. Mayo Clinic describes growing pains as ache or throb in the legs — often in the front of the thighs, the calves or behind the knees. But what should you look out for if you think your child’s pain is more than that?

In this episode, Dr. Saimun Singla explains the steps she takes to help her patients track and understand their pain. She also opens up about her own journey to being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Guest Bio:
