A member asked:
I have severe bilateral lower leg pain, it happens every night and feels very similar to growing pains.. i'm 21, can i still be having growing pains?

Not likely: I would encourage you to have an exam and appropriate radiologic studies. It would be highly unlikely that someone in their 20s would experience "growing pains"; in part because the vast majority of 20 year olds have completed their growth. Thank you for your question.
