N.O.
I found some good information on Mayo Clinic.com (link below) about "growing pains".

The key takeaways are:
You can help ease your child's discomfort with these home remedies:
*Rub your child's legs. Some children respond to gentle massage. Others feel better when they're held or cuddled.
*Stretch your child's legs. You might make it a habit during the day and again before bedtime.
*Use a heating pad. Heat can help soothe sore muscles. Use a heating pad on a low setting before bedtime or when your child complains of leg pain. Remove the heating pad once your child falls asleep. A warm bath before bedtime may help, too.
*Try a pain reliever. Offer your child ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Avoid aspirin, due to the risk of Reye's syndrome — a rare, but serious condition linked to giving aspirin to children.
It may also help to simply offer your support. Remind your child that growing pains won't last forever.
GOOD LUCK!
