Patient's question:
Symptoms and locations of growing pains? Do they need to be treated? How long does it take to recover if they are treated? Are there risks with surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: Growing pain is a physiological pain that primarily occurs between the ages of 2 and 13. It mainly manifests as pain in the periarticular area of the knee or the front of the lower leg without any redness, swelling, or tenderness at the site, and normal activity is not affected. The pain usually occurs around dusk or at night; excessive exercise or fatigue can worsen the symptoms, which then subside on their own after rest, with the pain completely disappearing by the next morning.
