{{About|the term|the television series|Growing Pains|the growing pains in dogs|panosteitis|other uses|Growing Pains (disambiguation)}} {{Infobox medical condition (new) | name = Growing pains | synonyms = | field = [[Pediatrics]] | symptoms = | complications = | onset = | duration = | types = | causes = | risks = | diagnosis = | differential = | prevention = | treatment = | medication = | prognosis = | frequency = | deaths = }} '''Growing pains''' are recurring [[pain]] symptoms that are relatively common in children ages 3 to 14-16. The pains normally appear at night and can affect the calf or thigh muscles of one or both legs. The pain usually stops on its own before morning. Growing pains are one of the most common causes of recurring pain in children. Although these pains reliably stop when the child has completely finished growing, it likely has nothing to do with growth.
