Dear Element99, Literally, once; would have been around 1948, walking with my mother and my baby brother still in his stroller, and I was suddenly overwhelmed with the greatest pain of my little 3-year-old life...Mom told me it was growing pains...I did not die, so she must have been right.
And figuratively well the figurative growing pains started around that time also, and (sob) still going on to this day...
Yes. Literally. I can remember between ages 10-13 particularly my leg and arm joints aching to the point i would constantly ask mom, who was a nurse, what was wrong with me. Puberty accompanied by a growth spurt made for some pretty miserable growing pains.
I remember those, AriaKae, they were horrible. All that only to grow a lofty 5ft 4. I was conned.
