Patient's question:
A while ago, when I went to the hospital for a physical examination, the doctor said that at my age, it's very common to experience growing pains because I'm still growing. However, I haven't experienced this so far, so I'd like to know what growing pains feel like?Doctor's answer:
Most of them feel that their legs are not swollen, but there is a soft and tender sensation, which is a special physiological phenomenon during the growth period. They are mostly children aged 3-12, with normal growth and development. The occurrence of growing pains is mainly due to the relatively high activity level of children, rapid growth of long bones, and inconsistent growth and development of local muscles and tendons, leading to the occurrence of physiological pain. Growing pains are temporary and will disappear over time. Don't worry too much.
