The symptoms of growing pain in a 16 year old adolescent are as follows. The patient will have pain in the lower extremities, usually in the knee, calf, thigh, and occasionally in the groin area, mainly as muscle pain, not joint pain. The pain is usually bilateral and symmetrical, but can also have unilateral attacks, almost always occurring at night, and is more pronounced at rest, and can last for minutes or hours. Patients with growing pains should pay attention to rest and eat more food with high calcium content, such as chicken soup and shrimp skin, etc. Calcium supplements, such as calcium gluconate oral solution and vitamin AD soft capsules, can relieve the clinical symptoms of growing pains, and also pay attention to increasing physical exercise appropriately.
