What are the symptoms of growing pains?

Patient's question:

The body doesn't have any other symptoms, just sometimes knee pain when taking a nap or in class. Sometimes it also feels painful when blowing a fan. Please provide an explanation.

Doctor's answer:

Growing pains usually occur again at night, in the knees, ankles, or joints of the knees, causing numbness or pain, with varying degrees of severity. They persist for a few nights and then disappear. When they recur, they also last for a few nights before disappearing. There is no redness or swelling in the legs, and pressing lightly on the leg muscles will not cause pain, nor will they interfere with walking.
Some people treat growing pains with calcium supplements, but calcium has no relation to growing pains. Even with sufficient calcium, growing pains may still occur, and calcium supplements offer little relief. Growing pains are a normal phenomenon and do not require any measures.
You can take some Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B6, which can help nourish nerves and alleviate nerve tension pain, but their effect is not significant.
