Not every ache or pain in young athletes is simply “growing pains.” Sports medicine experts warn that overuse injuries often develop from doing too much, too fast and too often, placing repeated stress on the same muscles and joints over time. Symptoms like persistent soreness, swelling, tenderness or pain that causes athletes to miss practices should not be ignored. Addressing symptoms early can help prevent more serious injuries and keep student-athletes healthy and active.
