you think you are too young!by (no login)My 10 year old son was just diagnosed with Seaver Disease!. His pediatrician told us that it occurs in very active people who run frequently or participate in a lot of sports. He indicated that it was an inflammation in the cartiledge where the growth plate is in my son's heel. He said that once his foot stops growing it should heal, but now I am not so sure. He limps almost all the time. We were advised to take Motrin right before his sports events. It does help, but it is a short term solution. His heel also mostly hurts in the morning. He is now wanting to take Mortin everyday and I am not sure this is a good idea for a long term solution (where does it end). Any help or suggestions that you discover would be appreciated. Good Luck! from IP address 168.166.80.205 Goto Forum Home |
