Hey guys, I was just woundering if any of you know what these mean. I'm 12 years old, and I think I'm having growth pains. My left rib (the 2-3erd first ribs.) hurts everyday, and It's getting old. My lower stomac hurts a lot, and I'm starting to have back and neck problems. Is that just growth pain, or is there something wrong? I'm going to give It a little more time, but If this keeps going on, I'll go to a docter. Thanks guys, answering this helps me a lot! God bless.

The stronger ones let go, but the weaker ones hold on.

Best to have it checked out....at 12, you can experience some growing pains, but you would want to rule out any possible medical concern first.

Hi Lemonseed, as Doula said, some "growing pains" can be normal but usually most people experience the pain in the major joints. So I agree that you should get checked out by your family doctor to rule out any serious medical conditions.

On a side note, please use the plain black font; its' much easier to read. Thanks

Thanks you, both. I will be having It checked out I think next week. Plus, I'm sorry you couldn't read It. I'll use black font for now on. THANKS!

Umm... I think you might of twisted your rib. I do It ALL the time. If you move the right way it will pop back in.
