Severs Diseaseby (no login)My 13 year old was just diagnosed yesterday with Seavers Disease. The orthopedic told us the same thing about how it effects active children. My son has just began his 10th year playing baseball. This year in the 7th grade, he played football, basketball, and ran track on the "school" team. He has complained of his feet hurting for more than a year now; but just this past week he started limping really bad. The orthopedic said that the pain will go away when the growth plate closes completely. In the mean time, Motrin 600 mg, heel cup, and ice is what he recommended. I am afraid that he will start to rely on the Motrin everyday, as you are with your son. The orthopedic did say that he was not damaging anything by continuing to play baseball, as long as he felt up to it. I asked how much longer he would be going through the "growing stage" and he couldn't give me an answer. He is wearing a size 10 now, which is about what his peers are wearing. If you find any more information about Seavers or treatment options, please pass it on. from IP address 208.44.54.50 Goto Forum Home |
