Layla with 'game'

My 10 month old springer Layla is showing signs of stiffness and walks with a pronounced limp in hind leg after lying down/sleeping. She is absolutley fine on walks and runs around like a complete loon (typical springer).

She does not show any signs of pain or discomfort on walks, and jumps over our back gate with ease. Could it be growing pains or could it a sign of something more serious? Will take her to the vets if this persists, but was wondering if there is anyone who has had experience of this in a springer.

Thanks

Claire and Layla
