Causes of Growing pains in children
In children this growing pains are very common. Even though the cause could be hormonal, a chemical imbalance, or a muscle fatigue type problem but still it is believed that the cause is unknown. A cramping like pain at the top of the calf muscles behind the knee is said to be the main symptom. The kind of pain that children are manifesting is the pan in the muscle and not in the joint and bones as well. So obviously if the pain is in the joint or bone, then it is not a growing pain. The pain will usually happen or occurs at night. So if the pain will occur at the time of the day so therefore it is not a growing pain in children. The pain will usually wake the child from sleep.
