Growing Pains at 15?!
Question:
Growing Pains at 15?
I am a 15 year old girl, and 5 ft 6 inches. Recently i've been experiencing dull pain in my shins and theighs. It feels like the growing pains I used to get when I was 12. Could I still be growing? My doctor said I was done growing and I'm already over an inch taller than my mother.
Answers:
Possibly. Probably. My Dr said my daughter stopped growing 3 years after her period began and that this is true of most girls, however, some girls will grow 3+ years, so it's possible. If it's alright with your mom, you should be able to take an adult dose of Ibuprofen. Also, try some leg stretching exercises to relieve the stress.
Anyway, if it doesn't stop or gets really bothersome, tell your mom to take you to see someone.
Good luck!
