Tendinitis: Hello, This could possibly be tendinitis due to overuse. Another thought could also be activity related, exertional compartment syndrome.

Not growing pains: Though they may feel similar in location the origin of your discomfort is not growing pains. These originate from the actual changes in the growth centers that close at the end of growth. What you have left are areas of muscle that fatigue with use and recover with sleep. There is some overlap of muscle fatigue during growing pains, but once the centers close, you can't blame them for pain.
