Please advise if it's normal to get growing pains in your shins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It's possible to get growing pains anywhere, including your shins. However, if the symptoms are severe/persistent, then i would recommend evaluation with a physician to rule out any significant underlying pathology.
