Usually it is between the ages of 8 and 12 years old. My son is starting this now and he is 8 years old. He had pain last night that nearly made him cry. I looked up "growing pains" and he has the exact symptoms: pain started late at night, he was very tired, the pain was deep in his thigh muscles, massage helped the pain, and he fell asleep as soon as the Advil kicked in. He gets these ever once in awhile, not often, and he is always relieved in about 20 minutes after the medicine is given. If these pains get more frequent I will get him checked out by his doctor, but for now I believe it is growing pains since it doesn't happen often.
Growing pains can last between 10 to 15 minutes and can be felt deep in the muscles. Growing pains mostly happen with children as they grow up.
