Girls usually stop at 18. So your almost done with growing. You can't stop it, so take some pain reliever to help deal with it eaiser.
Your muscles, ligaments, and bones all grow at different rates. The pain you get is in the one that isn't growing as fast as the other one at the time. It will go away as they all even out in their growth.
Could be a very seriouse tropical disease, If your legs keep on hurting after anothe week, you should have your docter cut open your leg and check for small snakes.
Bananas.....eat bananas when you do any physical activity! My 15 year old daughter has the same problem, and has since she was 2.......hope this helps!!!
