A member asked:
I have pain in my leg which feels identical to growing pains i would get as a younger kid i am 18 years old now - is this that or something else?

If you are an 18 : Year old female, you are unlikely to still be growing. Growing pains are diagnosed if nothing else is found to be wrong and someone is still growing. I would recommend you see your doctor to be examined so your pain can be properly diagnosed.
