Growth Spurt?

[Axle]

Yesterday my thighs hurt and they still do today. I measured myself yesterday and I was 5'9. Now I'm a little taller than that at like 5'9.3. Am I going through another growth spurt?

Well, The thing is, you actually wake up taller than you go to bed. When you've been standing up all day, gravity has done its work and the cartilidge in your bones gets a little compressed, so you can be about 1/4th of an inch shorter when you go to bed. When you're asleep, since you're leying down it gives the cartilidge a break and and decompresses, so you wake up seeming a bit taller than you were at night. Most likely the explanation since the growth you experienced wasn't too significant.

It is possible that you are going through a growth spurt right now.

Rex is right though about you actually get shorter as the day goes on because of gravity.

I knew that when I went through my growth spurt it seemed like I grew over-night but it was most likely and 8th of an inch or so. Don't worry about it its totally normal for you to wake up with sore thighs if you did some thing in the past few days that might have been jarring to them.
