As I stated in my post to Dawn, I too had " growing pains " . They

started when I was about 11, I believe. Only I actually grew. When I

was 12, I grew 6 inches in a year, more or less. Then crept up the

last 3/4 of an inch a few years later, to my present height of 5'9 " .

Interesting. I wonder if this is going to be another thing common to

the majority of us.

Take care,

this is really strange. I had a friend call me yesterday asking me to look up

stuff about growing pains. I never heard of it. Now I see posts about it. Her

son has them, and asked what she could do help him. He is umm 7 I believe. Any

suggestions? They have tried the soaking in bath tub. But he still wakes up in

the night screaming.

My mom used to have me eat bananas every day to combat the night leg

cramping of the growing pains. And I think this is when I ended up

first going to the chiropractor. I don't know if this helps or not.

My kids are 11, 9, 8, and 6 and they also have had or having growing pains.

I give them Motrin and if they are still in pain I do the motrin and after 2-3

hrs I give them tylenol. I just keep alternating until the pains stop. I hope

this works for your friend if she tries it.

My son used to wake up screaming in pain . It took forever to get a

diagnosis.........when he was in first grade.

The bottom line was that his muscles and bones were not growing at the same

speed, so he would get horrible leg cramps at night. Physical therapy to stretch

his ligaments and muscles " cured " him in less than 6 months!

His pediatrician tried to convince me all the while that he just wanted

attention ! UGGGGGGGH

Good Luck,

Marieanne
