Adolescents, Growth Spurts and Knee Pain

MAGNESIUM LOTION FOR GROWING TEENS?

Recently I was speaking with a mom and noticed her teenage son had some braces
on his knees. The woman commented that the boy had a lot of knee pain
around the kneecap. I asked the son if he had a recent growth spurt.
They were surprised but said yes, quite a bit.

With growth spurts, the muscles--especially the muscles in the
thighs--cannot keep up with the bone growth. This stresses the muscles
and the attaching ligaments, causing inflammation and pain.

Most often the pain resolves over time but when it happens, it's very uncomfortable.

Something that I've done in the past is to apply magnesium lotion, oil, or gel,
onto the muscles. This helps relax them muscles, taking stress off the
tendons. It's not a magic bullet, but it can help.

In addition, apply Restore Muscle & Joint rub on the knees. The cooling menthol and healing herbs help with pain.
