Answers:
Yes, it does exist. Doctors say there is no such thing however I have seen a child go through it.
When there is a growth spurt they suffer from aching legs at night and there is nothing you can do for them to ease the pain.

Yes!! Growing pains are actually caused when an adolescent has a growth spurt. The long bones will increase in length in a very short period of time, but the connective tissue (tendons and ligaments) cannot grow as fast as the bone. The pain that results is from the stress and streching of the tendons and ligaments.

yes if no you better look for specialist

yep...

Yes

yes they are and they are actually called growing "pangs" but society has changed it to pains.

Oh yah I had them when I was a kid and my son gets them all the time.

mm i think mentally yes. its like.puberty and adolesence and all that. but the physical pain us young people feel in our bones isnt from growing(ok im not 100% sure but heres my theory) i heard once.i dont remember where or who or what.but its from too much sugar, apparently our system couldnt process it and.it affects our bones somehow.? ok thats it im gonna look its up. but i think it has somthing to do with sugar and not our bones stretching.
