Adult 'Growing Pains'?

[BalthierBunansa]

I can't go to the Doctor until next Tuesday (she's only there once a week!), but i've had it for a while now and it's gotten worse and i'm just wondering what you think.

I have, what I can only describe as 'growing pains', in my legs/groin/arms/hands/ankles (not all at the same time of course!) maybe three times a week at night. Usually though, it's the legs/groin. Anyone got any idea what it may be?

Lots of things could be the cause of these sort of symptoms, possibly
even viral, so your GP is really your best bet, but just wondering if your are, or have been in the past very flexible - you know, " bendy bones" I ask as it can be part of a condition that can caus these sorts of aches & pains, that with the damp weather to aggravate it is just one of many possibilities though

I had them as a child - the GP was almost sure it was appendicitis, and I had to go back the next day - and he put it down to growing pains.

I was about 8 or 9, and the pains started just after I'd been indecently assaulted by someone my mother left me with on holiday. Nowadays in children they are often taken as a sign of something traumatic having happened.

Worth a trip to the GP to rule anything out, though.

There's definitely something 'going round' that feels like someone's given you a good kicking overnight! Currently suffering these growing pains too!
