plz help ty.

Answer 1

you mean like the calf area? could just be over use or something

Answer 2

It could actually be both. If you're not used to being active after the summer, then until you get in shape, your legs will suffer, for I have the same problem. Sometimes, even if you are in shape, your legs will ache, for the summer has taken some of your activity away, but after a little while and exercise you'll be fine. As for the growth spurt, if you've noticed you're growing rather fast, then you are probably in a growth spurt and are experiencing growing pains. Keep the muscles relaxed with a warm bath and see if this works. If the pain persists for too much longer, which it shouldn't, ask your parents to see a doctor just to be sure. Hope this helps.  

Answer 3

Growth spurts are more like dull aches.  I would think what you're feeling is from gym and you've over-extended your muscles or pulled something.  The soreness will last a few days, but should get better as you get in shape.  A bad strain will keep you down longer and you may need to get real medical advice for your treatment.

Answer 4
