Growing pains…it’s
one of those terms doctors hear growing up, but never came across in medical
school or subsequent years of training. Sure enough, those pains may occur as
our mothers told us. They do truly exist. In fact, they can be commonly found
at certain times in our lives; not surprisingly, when we’re growing. According
to a recent report, they occur in children within the ages of 3 and 5 and 8 to
12. If you remember your experiences with growing pains, they occur commonly in
the legs and after exercise, even moderate exercise.
