[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post is so timely. My 14 year old son had his physical yesterday. He is 5’2 and weighs 88 pounds. Doctor said he doesn’t show many signs of puberty and referred him to an endocrinologist for possibly giving him testosterone shots to jump start growth. Anyone ever done this? Also said he could start growing any day and nothing to worry about yet. [/quote] Definitely visit the endocrinologist. We were also referred to one for my son by our pediatrician, and it was very reassuring. The dr. will start with a physical exam, take medical history, your family's history, will probably order hand and wrist x-rays, and go from there. The likelihood of needing to jump start with testosterone is small. Fortunately we didn't have to do it, but I read a lot on it and was personally prepared to go that route if needed.[/quote]
