Is it bad for a 16 year old to have growing pains? He is 16 and 5-7 and has not had a big growth spurt. ??

Question

16 year old growing pains

Answer 1

Actually, it's not uncommon. A male begins to grow at a later time than the female, and may not stop until he is 18 or older. I suggest that you don't take pills if you feel this pain, and if it continues for more than 24 hours, try a pain reliever. If it then continues, attempt talking to a gaurdian, or look up the symptoms you are having on www.Healthline.com

Hope it helps.

Answer 13

no its not bad, im 16 myself. Your one of two growers: You get to about 15-17 then have a huge growth spurt, or you just grow over the years without hassle, like me, im 5' 10" and have grown from like 4' 8" in 04 to 5' 10" now. my dad and brothers were all like 5' 2" until like 17 then went to like 6ft.....

its all different for everyone....

lol this jacob kid i know is like 15 and 4' 10"

Answer 14

dont be surprised to see stretch marks too, my friend had a late growth spurt and has stretch marks on his back

Answer 15

Growing pains are very common all the way into a persons 20's.  You just want to make sure they are actually growing pains and not something more serious.  Is there any possibility of trauma?  Is there a family history of bone disorders?

Answer 16

Are you sure he has not had a "growth spurt"  He could be the height he is going to be.  Boys generally grow later than girls.  Grils have their height at 13.  Boys grow a little slower but should start a nice growth by the time they are 14.

At 18 there is a growth spurt and around 24 is another small growth spurt.

What was his height at 9 years old?
