At what age should growing pains go away?

Question

I am sixteen. My stepmother says they may not be growing pains. Then again she'd never had them so she doesn't understand how bad they hurt. There is a new development though, they now occur in my wrists. They keep me awake all night. Is there a way to calm them? How much longer until they go away?

Answer 1

If it feels better when you massage it, it's growing pains.
