Growing pains are most common from ages 2-12, typically end by the teen years, and are slightly more common in girls than in boys. As for the cause of growing pains, there is no evidence that a childâs growth is actually painful. Health professionals believe that physical activity during the day, such as running, climbing, or jumping, contributes to leg pain at night because of the impact of the physical activity on the musculoskeletal system.
First, growing pains is a misnomer â the pain has nothing to do with growing. Paediatric rheumatologists prefer the term non-specific limb pains of childhood (NSLPC) â clumsy but more accurate. Also, teenagers don't get growing pains; they only occur in three- to 12-year-olds. NSLPC is a common condition, with up to 37% of children between the ages of four and six troubled by it. NSLPC has typical symptoms; in two-thirds of children the pain is in the shin, calves, thighs or back of the knee and does not involve any joints. It occurs on both sides, starts in the late evening and quite often will wake the child because it can be quite intense. The pain can last from minutes to hours and can occur regularly for a few years.
