What are growing pains exactly?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Growing pain refers to limb pain of unknown etiology, affecting children aged 3 to 10. Child typically complains pain over legs only at night. Limb pain extending to following day or associated with limping or joint swelling certainly requires proper medical attention.
