A member asked:

My 12 yr old son recently has been getting leg pain in both his legs more like aching. pains is this called growing pain and what can he do for pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be normal..: It doesn't hurt to grow...but what can be uncomfortable is CHANGE....as we get bigger, things don't work like they used to. Kids are bigger, stronger, more uncoordinated until they get used to their new bodies. I would start with something easy such as Ibuprofen and treat the symptoms as needed.
