Answers:
Growing pains are the pains we feel when out growth plates (the little cartalidge things at the ends of our bones) open up. IT HURTS! I suffered from them severely as a kid, and again when I was 17 in boot camp. I grew an inch in boot camp, in less than a month. These plates open sometimes too fast and it causes swelling in the ligaments, which causes the pain. Your doctor should take x-rays, and watch how fast you are growing. Health Question & Answer
