700 Children's® – A Blog by Pediatric Experts

Adolescence is a dynamic, fun, and stressful period where kids transition from childhood to adulthood. Adolescence is broken into three stages: early, middle, and late adolescence. While these stages are common for all teens, each person experiences them in their own way.

It is fairly common for children to experience some pain from ages 8-16 while they are growing. Sometimes this is just pain that is of no real concern and does not limit a child’s function or activity, but in some situations, this can be more of a problem. Often times children who are more active and participate in regular sport suffer the most.
