Why do I have pain on my back of my legs close to the knee?

Question

Okay before you say that cause I got hurt or sleept wrong it wasn't any of those two so you can cross it out. I went to the doc a few days ago for a sports physical and my legs were fine but now all of a sudden I get pain in the back of my legs close to the knee? What could it "Maybe" be? My friend said that before he had a growth spurt his legs were sore and ached with pain, could it be that I might grow?

Answer 1

Yes sounds like growing pains. I got them when I was younger and now my kids get them. :)

Answer 2

I'm also 14 and have the same type of thing. But I have had it for over 2 years. I also heard that it was just growing pains but i havent really grown very much. I havent gotten any help from any doctors either...

Answer 3
