[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain what an X-ray shows to predict growth? Somehow 4 kids but we never learned or experienced this. [/quote]

No one gets the X Ray unless they see an Endo or break a bone.  More for late bloomers[/quote]
not necessarily true.

My son had foot issues all throughout 5th grade. He said every time he ran, his heel hurt. I thought he just needed to rest his foot. But I finally took him to an orthopedist several months later.  Older dr, and he immediately had a suspicion as to what the issue was, but he took an xray of his foot, and that confirmed his suspicion.  
 
It was growing pains, basically. I think someone on this forum mentioned what the actual medical terminology is, but I can't recall the term.  The dr said he had four kids go through the exact same thing.

Dr said DS bone age was about 18months behind chronological age.  He hit puberty late (15, from a family of late bloomers).  He's 18 now, and grew 2" in the past 7 months. Always the shortest until 17 when he started to grow past his friends who had all stopped growing at 16.

IMO, it's largely genetics - when  you start puberty (late bloomer), and if the dad (usually) grew past 16.  For us, both are true.[/quote]

My late grower dysgraphia get Sever’s until 8th grade! He’s over 2 years behind growth spurt.  [/quote]
