Answers:

The pains will stop as your growth rate slows down. This usually means by the early teens, but there is individual variation. If you're a girl, growth slows down dramatically after you get your first period, and the fastest growth rate is just before you get your first period. For boys the peak growth rate is lower but growth continues for a much longer time, which is why they are often shorter than girls at age 12 but almost always taller at age 18.
