Re: Kinda Normal kid thing...

[Guest guest]

My son who is now 20 has broken three bones in his wrist on 2

occasions...(he is a very active person) he was doing stunts with his

skateboard and a bicycle(dont ask)...lol when we found out he broke

the one in his growth plate I was scared thinking he had damaged his

wrist and would have future problems...I didnt need to be...we were

also concerned with arthritis and the doc told us that even with a

family history he can prevent arthritis from affecting him too early

with a good diet...in all my son has broken 16 bones from stunt

accidents(you'd think he'd learn) but he heals amazingly well because

he is one boy who loves his milk.....I say to keep an eye on it but

not to worry overmuch and it is possible that the joint pain and

achiness could be the normal growing pains in a young boy...I remember

Jon complaining when he went to bed at night as a kid that he ached

and now I look back on it I can see that it was because he was so

active and always running...you say your kids dont do the normal

things kids do but I am hoping you give yourself a worry break and

hope this is just a growing phase ok?

> Well I have a question for you all if you have a chance.

> ALex (my PIDD 10year old) fell a couple of days ago and the

orthopedic we saw says he fractured his wrist on the growth plate.

Being that this is a normal kid thing I'm kind of at a loss (my kids

don't do normal kid things LOL)

> SO my question to you all is, has a history of joint pain,

achiness etc but does not have arthritis. Should I be concerned that

this could set him up for damage to his joint and should I be giving

him something for the inflammation everyday to help combat or prevent

the damage? He really is not complaining of any pain, however I have

been giving him a motrin before bed just in case.

> Should I be watchful for anything else?

house!!! (we just moved from MN to NM 1 1/2wks ago.)
