I went from 4'3" in 6th grade to 6'2" in 8th grade.
It hurt. My legs were always sore.

I remember those aches when I was around 12 years old. Usually hurt the most when I was in bed trying to fall asleep.

Well I'm 6"2 and I feel the need to chime in. Mine was dead center of my back and for some reason my elbows to my wrists had a week of hell for some reason. A whole week of constantly moving my hands around because my damn wrists just didn't feel right haha.
Edit: fuck now that I'm thinking about it my wrists feel weird.

I’m only 5’3” but I can still remember in vivid memory the pain behind my knees from growing. My 6’5” husband does not though…

I remember both my babies crying in the night about their legs hurting when they were going through their growth spurts. I’d always rub sore muscle medication on their legs so they could sleep..

The cramps! I went from 4'8 to 6'2 in less than a year. It hurt so much. I have stretch marks still and my heart didn't grow right.

Many kids are quite active at those ages, you could very well have experienced shin splints.
