If u r still growing: Usually growing pains are bilateral and usually in the calves or thighs. If u r having problems in ur ankle, knees or hips u should have it checked out. Also, if u r having frequent muscle cramps u might want to consider multivitamin and mineral supplements along with increased fluid intake. Muscles can't function properly if it is not getting everything it needs
