Answers:

Yes growing pains are very real. The most common cause is when one part of the body grows faster than a adjoining part.

For example the leg bones may grow faster than the muscles in the leg, a very common condition in teenagers and young adults, sometimes lasting into the mid twenties or beyond. Sometimes the pain is mild but at times growing pains can be very severe. If they become severe, see your physician, he may be able to help with medication and or exercises for the specific area causing the pain.

I hope this helps.
