A member asked:

Are "growing pains" in legs a real thing? i get horrible muscle pains in legs at night from time to time. i'm 18. normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not entirely normal: Growing pains are real, but they are not typically severe. If you are having cramps in the muscles of your legs (they would feel hard/tight) then you might have low potassium. Add a banana or two to your daily diet- they are a good source of potassium.
