Answers:
Growing pains are the pains we feel when out growth plates (the little cartalidge things at the ends of our bones) open up!. IT HURTS! I suffered from them severely as a kid, and again when I was 17 in boot camp!. I grew an inch in boot camp, in less than a month!. These plates open sometimes too fast and it causes swelling in the ligaments, which causes the pain!. Your doctor should take x-rays, and watch how fast you are growing!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It may be growing pains but it is always a good idea to go to the Doctor and make sure your ok!. Better safe then sorry! You are already so tall, and it sounds more like joint pain!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It might be from extra work ex: work out , walking stairs because growing pains are more common in muscels and for children!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
