Leg pain,in calf muscles,i.e between knee and ankle joints occur in almost all children,they're called growing up pains,it's NOT a medical condition and requires NO medicine or vitamin supplements,specially vit D,DON'T give it. You can give gentle massage or warm fomenting using hot towels. If more severe,use paracetamol for pain. Relax,she'll outgrow it.
