Despite the misnomer, growing pains can be bothersome for many young children who may be confused by this pain.
Growing pains typically feel like a throbbing ache in the foot, ankle, along the inside of the shinbone, and the lower legs. Furthermore, having Flat feet or Another foot condition common in children can aggravate growing pains.
