Can you have growing pains if your body tries to grow too fast?

Yes.  The source of the pain is usually that your bones are growing faster than the ligaments, tendons, and muscles can and the stretch can cause some mild pain.  It is perfectly normal.  I grew almost a foot in one year back in the day and had bad growing pains...stretching helps ease the pain and speed up the growth of the connective tissue.  it is not recommended to give motrin or the like unless absolutely necessary.  check with your doctor if the pain is unbearable.

Raynaud's comes to mind.  There is no such thing as growing pains.  You may have Rheumatoid Arthritis.  See a doctor. You need lab work and x-rays.

Does it hurt? This also may by a cyst which can easliy be removed by your doctor. They are fairly common, and there is really no reason for why you get them, it is something that just happens. Either way, when you get a growth like that, you should always go to the doctor!

No need to stop for growth reasons only for possible back problem later in life.  As long you are careful and use good form there should be no problem

It will probably go away, don't worry. You shold consider not pushing above your limits when you are stretching; there is no point to it really. You will not develop anything faster, yet it is dangerous.

It may be muscular or it could be a kidney. If the pains are severe see a Doctor.

I'm pretty sure about most of this but if you want a better answer see a doctor. If the burning is high in your legs than it could mean that your nerves are growing back. The problem is that they only grow about a millimeter every month, but you could probably begin to move you upper leg muscles slightly in a few months, and have more and more control over your legs in the years to come.

You could be growing but usually the pain happens in your legs. I would suggest going to a doctor. Don't worry. They will probably just tell you to tape it up or do something to make it better. Make sure you see one before things get worse. It's probably not anything big but it's better to be safe then sorry. Good Luck with basketball!

I would tell the Dr. about your sharp pains, but it could be caused by the stretching of your uterus to make room for your growing  baby. I remember feeling this way as the baby grew inside me. The feeling was kind of like a side stitch or pulling sensation. I hope this helps, but still ask your Dr. God Bless you and your baby!

Yes, and it will stunt your growth or an injury will give you a lifetime of pain in a joint.

Yes, you are always growing until you are about 20 years old then you have basically reached your full potential!  When you have your period your body is going through several changes internally therefore you are still able to grow externally!

I have heard my doctor refer to it as Growing pains as well. Sometimes I guess when kids go through a growth spurt their leg joints will ache.

The growth of the pain body in human kind is.

Well, this probably isn't the answer you want to hear, but you're boned, no pun intended.\n\nThe thing is, you may continue to grow a little taller, but in all likelihood the growth plates on the ends of your bones have already calcified and permanently fused themselves in position, setting your skeleton in its final form (it usually happens by the time you're 18).\n\nOnce that happens, you simply cannot increase your bone size any more.  Not ever.\n\nIt's not even a matter of taking supplements to encourage growth, or taking drugs to encourage growth.  The part of your body which does the growing is no longer there once your bones decide they're done.  There's nothing for the drugs to have an effect on.\n\nThere are some surgeries which you might be able to do where, in essence, a doctor saws the legs in your bones in half, and pins the two pieces in place an inch or two apart so when they heal, they fill in new bone in the gap (leaving you that much taller), but that's seriously traumatic, takes months to heal, leaves awful scars, and isn't an option most people would go for.\n\nBottom line is, this may just be how tall you were meant to be... but like other posters have said, a lot of people find girls your size very attractive, so relax and feel beautiful just like you are, because chances are someone else will feel that way, too.

it depends on your height, your metabolism, how active you are....lots of things. \nplus since you are still growing you may go through periods of time where you gain weight and then have a growth spurt. \ntalk to your parents if you are worried that you are over weight or underweight. if you are really that worried you can have your parents make a doctors appointment for you and discuss whatever anxiety you may have with your weight. \n\ni wouldn't worry about it at your age, especially if your doctor doesn't believe it is an issue. just try to eat healthy (that doesn't mean to not eat junk, just eat it in moderation) and to stay active.
