Growing pains has been reported in the medical literature since 1823 with frequent, subsequent and ongoing inclusion ever since. Suffering from ill definition, unknown aetiology and being the subject of many poorly conducted studies, growing pains has endured the gamut of being associated with endocarditis to being dismissed as nebulous and even mythical. Management of this condition, which has been reported to occupy 1-2 % of visits to health professionals, is ad hoc and limited and best evidence not usually implemented. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2005
