Growing pains

Growing pains:

Children go through bursts of rapid growth. Puberty, in particular, brings on significant growth spurts as their bodies get set for adulthood.

During these periods of fast growth, it’s important to make sure they have the support they need.

 During a growth spurt, your child may feel hungrier or more tired than usual.

Another sign of a growth spurt is growing pains.

Symptoms of growing pains:

• Aching or soreness in the legs, typically in the calves or front of the thighs

• Pain that comes and goes

• Discomfort often worsens in the evening or at night

• Moving the legs doesn’t always relieve the pain.

 Each child experiences these growing pains differently. Some may only feel a mild ache now and then, while others might be woken up at night due to the discomfort. While growing pains won't cause limping or prevent them from playing, they can still be quite bothersome.

Growing pains are a normal part of childhood development. However, if you have any concerns about your child's health, it’s always wise to consult with a healthcare professional for peace of mind.
