Hae any of you ever dealt with this with your kids? Last spring DS was in so much pain he was in a cast for 6 weeks. Well, over the last week or so the pain has come back and the Alleve is not helping. When I called the doc yesterday they said to put the cast back on for a couple weeks. He also told me that since he just turned 14 we might have another 2 years of this to deal with until the bone fuse. I know several people IRL that had their kids go through it once but never again have a flare up. So, has anyone else had any repeats after the first diagnosis?
No I have never even heard of this, best of luck I hope he gets better soon.
Yes my dd did. First time during softball season and again the following season. The sprints irritated it I guess. No problems since though.
Never hear of it. It sounds alot like what my mom called growing pains.
My daughter had it when she was in 7th grade... First she wore a brace, then a boot, then a cast. The cast seemed to do the trick because then she really had to rest it. Afterwards it didn't hurt as much but she pulled a hamstring because she was overcompsenating for her foot. That took a long time to get better since she didn't truly stop running, etc. I would say by 10th grade she was back to 100%. She does have bad arches and wears insoles.
