Not usually: Growing pains tend to be in muscles as opposed to joints, however the muscle pain in the back of the thigh could transmit to the back of the knee.

Not specifically : There is such a thing as growing pains, although in a growing child complaining of knee pain, both hip and knee pathology should be carefully ruled out, as hip pathology frequently refers to the knee in kids.
