Bone Cancer?!

[plushiesaremyjam]

Hi guys, so over the last few days I have been experiencing growing pains in my legs. I am 18 and not very active at all really. But I have been climbing stairs a lot more and trying to be healthier. But when I started doing this I noticed I would get growing pains it was really weird. My mom thinks it’s just growing pains but the fact I still have them in the morning is scary. I also had an incident with an almost sprained ankle from stepping in a hole that my dog dug and I fell and it hurt but it didn’t actually sprain. Could this be a bone cancer? I know it’s a weird thing to ask but I’m 18 and still get growing pains?! It also feels better if I like walk around when this happens. It’s very odd

I think it’s just your muscles are being worked with climbing stairs your doing which your feeling the effects of. When u just beginning to exercise the muscle that have never been used b4 start getting used and they start to ache a little. It will go away as u continue your exercise and your muscles in your legs get stronger. Good luck

Jennylove is right, these are muscular pains, don't quite know what growing pains are, not sure it's an accepted medical term, but you can forget about bone cancer, where did that come from. Either way you're worrying far too much about these muscular pains, accept them for what they are, don't obsess and stress about them and go have some fun.

To me it sounds like your inactive muscles are trying to wake up. If you’ve been inactive and all of a sudden become active that will happen. Just don’t stop! Stay active and you will eventually get in shape more and the pains will lessen. Obviously if the pain gets a lot worse and prohibits normal function get a check up but I think you may just be out of shape. That happens to me since I’ve quit being as active. Stay strong! Get up, get out and get active! You got this!
