Okay, I don't know why but my knees are super painful pretty consistently. It's like... right below my kneecap? And also around my knee. It hurts more when I'm just laying down but bending over isn't fun either. Also my thighs will occasionally pulsate with pain, deep and sharp pain, and it... It's bad. I'm going to a forum and not my doctor because my insurance is shit. Preferably I don't want any pain meds too... Because I have major addictive tendencies and history.. Anyone else know what I'm sayin? Input?

Could they be growing pains?

You can't really get any feedback from a teen forum on medical conditions, as nobody here is a doctor.

Okay...does it hurt worse after sitting down for a long time? Or after running, climbing stairs, etc?

Yes, after sitting a long time and especially if I sit down too long after having ran etc. crouching is such a bitch..
