Growing Pains

Fago!

I assumed this would be the right place for this.

Do you still get growing pains? I'm 19 nearly 20 and found myself with growning pains the other day. I was shock, because I thought I had the last of those years ago.

Are you of a similar age and still get them?

I haven't grown an inch since I was 13.

Those growing pains were feckers though, don't miss them

I can't remember ever having growing pains and I'm 6ft.

Fago!

Sure why would you? I couldn't sleep because I was in agony (I exaggerate because I'm a wuss) I was awake for 46 hours...

The sleep deprevation caused me to:

• Spill tea on my laptop
• Walk into a street lamp
• Stand on my lizard* (He's grand)
• Scream at my dad because he had a stupidd face

They can do strange things to you...

I haven't had growing pains in ages I don't think...

I don't even remember having any growing pains.

Growing pains?

I thought growing pains were made up...

Fago!

Nope. Real as rice.

Don't think I've had these growing pains you speak of. Then again my growth spurts were always short lived, kept me short so they did.

My voice still cracks the odd time. I blame that on excess mucous though.

There's no scientific evidence for growing pains AFAIK. I've never experienced them, I've had mysterious mild muscle pains now and then, but you never know where they can come from, like it could be even sleeping in an awkward position...

I had terrible ones when I was around eight which resulted in me looking like beanpole and standing about two feet over all my friends:o

A Neurotic

Growing pains used to keep me awake :mad:

i never had growing pains but then again i'm only around 5 foot and haven't grown since probably national school.

i think i'd stick the pain for a few days if it meant i'd be taller but then again i probably regret saying this if i actually did get growing pains

And I'm nearly 17, so I've given up on any more growing at this stage.:(

I always get a really bad pain in my shin that my parent's always told me were growing pains, but I still get it even though I haven't grown since I was about 15 but I still get it when I've walked a lot, so I think my parents just lied to me to get me to shut up.

i'm still hoping i'll grow but it's looking very doubtful

Luno

I think I get them but it could be something else cause I don't grow, haven't for a long time actually. I would blame it on exercise but I can get them even if I'm just lying around the house for the day.. They're not nice anyways!:(

Could be you needing an insole of some sort. Most likely, thats you putting the weight on the wrong part of your foot when you walk and causing a pain in your shin. You should take a trip to your on-campus physio if you have one, tis' something that can be sorted very easily/cheaply.

I have some already, specially designed to my foot expensive arch support things, that they noticed my feet were slightly flat when I was in physio before. They do help, but if I ever forget to put them in I'm in agony all night.
So good call on that one :cool:

Good to know I could bluff my way through Med-School :pac:

Wth are growing pains?
Pains from growing, im guessing? :P

And i don't think I've had them and I'm like.. tall.

WanderingSoul

I've had them. According to my chiropractor they don't strictly exist as described (they're not actually pains from growing). Whatever they really are, they hurt!

almostnever

I haven't had them in a few years. Have loads of stretch marks, though....

Girls stop growing at 16 I'm told. Boo-urns...

Slow Show

I'd love growing pains, it'd mean I'm growing...

I'm tiny....:(

I got them again about 2months ago.. kept me awake for ages during the night. i was nearly crying with the pain :eek: havnt grown in ages though!

Arcade Panda

what is it with lads being really small until their in third year....then they grow like 6 foot overnight??!

flyswatter

I think I've stopped growing, shame, you can never be too tall imo.

Arcade Panda, it was the opposite for me. I was taller than my friends in the early school years and then they sort of caught up to an extent. I haven't grown much the last few years.

I was kind of like that I was one of the shorter guys for ages and then the growing happened, I didn't get growing pains too badly,just that I had the odd occasion where I was left trapped in bed,unable to move my legs to get up and tell someone,only happened maybe 3 times though.

I'll admit you can be too tall[I'd say anything over 6ft 7"] as of now,I'm 6 3" and hoping to squeeze out a few more inches by the time I'm 20 [someone HAS to make a joke out of that]

I reckon being like that would be pretty cool.

You might be happy to know that not all of us did. I think I had a total of one growth spurt around 6th class/1st year that made me close enough to average. Then all the other bastards got theirs. Haven't measured myself in ages but I reckon I stand somewhere near or around 5'6" myself.

Sure I'll probably live longer.

You'll be damn glad someday, you'll be on a spy mission with some 5'9" fellow, and ye'll have to jump on top of a moving train to get in and kill the enemy inside. Ye'll jump on top, but, alas! A bridge is nearby! You quickly duck and make it, but your taller spy buddy gets his face turned into mush. You win.
