Knee pains are usually from a combination of physical activity and lack of rest to the injured area. Since you've been having a lot of growth spurts are you involved in any sports too?

More than likely you should just take some time away from physical activity and the injury should heal. Try to elevate the injured leg and place some ice over the knee. See if your parent can let you have an aspirin or ibuprofen to reduce the swelling.
