As growing pains are a thing in adolescents, with bone, joint and muscle aches, why isn’t that pain also constantly present for infants and toddlers who are growing at a much faster rate with their bodies subject to greater developmental stresses?

They say growing pains are present in kids and adolescents, but does anybody else still get the same pains in their shins despite being an adult? I get them way less frequently, but the pain is such a distinct feeling that I know it’s the same pain as “growing pains” I’ve had when younger (yes I know they’re not definitively linked to growing, I don’t think I’m getting any taller at this point lol). They never really went away, just happen way less frequently
