OH God yes. I can only put the ages of 7-9 or so on this. But the pain was unbearable and would happen in the night. I would have to get my mom out of bed and she would rub lotion on them which didn't really help, but I think it sort of calmed me down to relax and get back to sleep. I too was told they were growing pains but not everyone I know had these.

I started having them when I was 3. They were extremely debilitating. I was actually diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis which isn’t supposed to go away, but my joints never showed damage and my blood tests kept coming back normal. I’m pretty sure that, even at 3 years old, I was having fibro symptoms.
I can remember sitting out during gym class in elementary school because my legs hurt. Like so many others, the doctor just said it was “growing pain”.
