Did you have growing pains when you were young?

Nope, but I’m short so what is this “shooting up in height” thing you speak of? I do remember being so tired after school in 8th-9th grade that I couldn’t keep my eyes open. My mom dragged me to the doctor who basically told her to have me eat breakfast AND drink breakfast shakes on top of that every day because they thought I was lacking in iron or protein.

Not me, but my younger sisters had very painful growing pains when they were in their pre teens/pubescent years. My mom made some of my granddaddy's muscle rub (he was a boxer) for their legs, pain was behind the knees. I remember the smell of wintergreen rub used with heating pads and hot water bottles. I loved and still love the smell of the rub, but hated the sounds of them crying at night, seems like it was always at night when the pains would affect them.

Yes, awful growing pains..

I remember it a little but I certainly never got tall. I remember my son having them too, and he was so worried there was something wrong with him.

My kids complained of pain, especially in their knees.
I took them to their pediatrician, and both were diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatters disease. They had to ice, rest and go easy for sports/gym classes, but were fine.
They are both 5’8” (my son has never been happy about that!), their dad is 6’1” and I am 5’1”.
I don’t remember growing pains, but I had stomach aches all the time. I was a perfectionist and worrier. My mom took me to the dr and he said I had SSG. She thought I was dying until he said I had “Super Sensitive Gut!”

I had them so bad my mom finally took me to the doctor and they ran all kinds of tests. They didn’t find anything and said it was just growing pains. But I never grew. I'm 5’2”. They eventually went away.

Nope. But I’m 5’4” so maybe I grew slow. Lol. I didn’t complaints about this from my three DDs either.

Oh yeah, I remember them quite vividly. My mom used to rub my legs to try and ease the pain.

Yes, I remember those.

Yep.  I was the tallest student through middle school.  Not the tallest girl, the tallest student.  Back row center of all of the class pictures where they put you on risers.  I took private ice skating lessons and my coach told my mom it was a waste of our time because I was growing too fast.  Just as I learned a jump I would grow and throw off my center of gravity.  

I never did, but my youngest great grandson has them, really bad leg cramps. He'll say, nana I must be growing cause my legs hurt! He's 7.

My eldest wound up having X-rays because for whatever reason his one limb started hurting much more than the other one day and he was in a panic over it. We were on our way to a day-long outing and he was just sobbing in the back seat. I pulled over and called the doctor and asked if I could bring him right then.

And once he got there he mentioned the other leg hurting but not as much. No word of that in the car when I was scratching my head wondering how this kid injured himself so badly just sitting in the car.    I joke now, but we were both freaked out over this sudden pain. When the doctor said it was probably growing pains I was in shock because none of my siblings or I ever had them. I never heard any of my relatives or friends ever mention it. I didn't even know they were a real physical thing! I felt so bad for the poor kid.

No, I hadn't even heard of them until I started teaching. I was 5' 7" by sixth grade.
