depends on age.. if you are over 18 then it's not growing pains.. maybe it's bad circulation

I think i have restless leg syndrome... but probably not very bad.... sometimes my legs hurt lie that but my mom said its just because they are growing..... i dunno about yours happening all the time...Hope you get better!

restless leg syndrome

The main cause is varicose veins (poor blood circulation), however there are a host of things that could be wrong, and you could have been misdiagnosed. I would go see a specialist asap.

I do not want to alarm you but I strongly suggest having the pulse in your feet checked. The the lower extremity arteries may become narrowed or blocked, causing blood flow to decrease. If this is the cause then it may one day require amputation.

May sure you blood is flowing...

Non-invasive testing: These tests are performed in the clinic setting or in a vascular laboratory, most often on an outpatient basis. They are virtually painless methods of examining the blood flow to the extremities, with essentially no side effects or risks.

PULSE EXAMINATION: This is the primary assessment of the circulation. Normal findings by an experienced examiner make the likelihood of lower extremity arterial disease remote.

ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURES: Using an ultrasound stethoscope (Doppler), the blood pressure in your arms and legs is measured , and the pressures are compared. This test gives the vascular surgeon a generalized assessment of the severity of the lower extremity arterial disease.

DUPLEX SCANNING: This test is useful for detecting blockages in an artery and measuring the size of the artery. It may also be used to measure the size of a vein that may be used as a bypass, a means of re-routing blood flow around a blocked or occluded area.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE ANGIOGRAPHY (MRA): This test is also useful for imaging extremity vessels.

Invasive Testing: Tests in this category involve the injection of a contrast dye directly into your arteries under X-ray guidance.

Angiogram: This test is the most helpful imaging study used to direct treatment of symptomatic lower extremity arterial disease. Dye is injected directly into the artery and special x-rays are taken to reveal the exact location of the arterial blockage. An angiogram is only necessary when interventional or surgical treatment is being considered.
