Growing pains: Without knowing more details, I would say this is most likely "growing pains." We don't understand what really causes growing pains, but we do know that they are temporary and will eventually go away. Meanwhile, it is best to treat it with moist heat (those rice-filled bags are the best) and ibuprofen if needed (always give with food). Massage and gentle muscle stretching can also be helpful.
