Patient's question:
My child is already 6 years old this year, but he has a condition called growing pains. My friend's child does not have this symptom. Seeing the child in pain, my heart also feels anxious. So, I would like to consult whether growing pains are good or bad?Doctor's answer:
Growing pains are often caused by lower limb pain due to the rapid development of children's bones. Symptoms tend to worsen at noon or in the evening, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. It is difficult to simply say whether it is good or bad, as each person's specific development is different. Some children may develop well even without growing pains, so it is important to approach this issue objectively.
