Your problems might be related to posture problems. The hurting knees..those are growing pains..they'll go away when the growing spurt is over.
If i were you i'd go see a “Mensendieck” or “Cesar” exercise therapist (if available in Canada...ask your doctor). Aslong as your bones are still supple enough that will give good results. I went to one myself when i was a teen (when i was 18/19)..at first i had to put an extra sole under my shoe cuz it appeared one leg was shorter than the other..but after a while i didnt have to anymore as it was a posture problem..and yes i too had plenty of backaches (what a surprise as ofcourse my spine was used the wrong way).
