What are the risk factors for growing pains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Restless legs: Growing pains are thought to be related to restless leg syndrome in adults. Muscle pain at night is thought to be due to increased physical activity during the day. Growing pains are common in preschool and school aged children and are slightly more common in girls and boys. Growing pains are not associated with growth spurts in children but are associated with increased running and climbing.
