It's not literal as in they have nothing to do with growing, they are just a name for myofascial trigger points.

Yep, growing pains are a Thing. I remember having them so bad that they would wake me up at night. And now I see it all the time in otherwise healthy kids who come to our clinic. As long as the Bad Stuff has been ruled out, it’s safe to chalk it up to growing pains.

yes, same, and I'm like 5 ft nothing. Dad would stay up with me many nights, which makes them actually a fond memory from childhood❤️
