For the past few days, I've repeatedly heard my son say he's in pain while asleep, but he can't clearly explain where it hurts. I'd like to understand what might be causing inner knee pain in adolescents.

It is usually caused by factors such as inflammation or growth spurts. The pain may occur due to rapid physical development and the accompanying fast growth of bones. This type of pain typically has no specific tender points and tends to occur during rest at night. Some patients may wake up directly from the pain, but generally no treatment is required. However, if the pain is localized to one side of the body and accompanied by fever, redness, and swelling in the affected area, it is likely caused by inflammation or similar conditions.
