Is this normal?

So I’ve always dealt with really bad pain under my knee cap and on my shin towards my ankle. My pediatrician says that it’s just growing pains and they’ll go away when I’m 13. Now I’m 14 and they still come. I don’t even know what to do anymore these things are so painful. I’m actually up dealing with one right now. Has anyone else dealt with them? When did they stop?
