Questions
Similar symptoms to growth pain, but the pain is not fixed and does not occur regularly. Inquiry about possible causes and recommended checks.
Answers
Growth pain typically occurs in children under 10 years old due to leg pain caused by the growth of long bones. However, for adults, pain that is not fixed may be due to autoimmune issues or other causes, such as gout caused by high uric acid levels. It is recommended to undergo a series of autoimmune indicator tests, such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate, human leukocyte antigen, antinuclear antibody, etc., as well as uric acid testing.
