    DD has shown Sever's who's boss!

    Last Friday 8yo dd began her 3rd Sever's flare up since September. That was the beginning of what has become a mind boggling growth spurt- 7" in 18 months. After her first heel pain issue, her pediatrician ordered x-rays to be sure there was no underlying problem, diagnosed it as a sprain, and...

    We have an 8yr old gymnast with Severs - She has had 1 complete month off - didn't even come in for conditioning because she was too tempted to do gymnastics!) and prior to that she was only doing what didn't hurt and conditioning. She is wearing heel cups and has her own ice pack which she...

    L9/10 gymnast with Sever's

    Any words of advice for helping a young L9/10 gymnast who is battling a Sever's flare-up? (...and doesn't want to slow down...:rolleyes:) She has been plugging along with Sever's on and off for 3 years and it definitely hinders her progression on vault and floor. She has been told by her...

    Severs

    Ok, I"m not seeking medical advice here. But have any of you seen severs disease in a child who isn't yet 7? If so, is this a child who practices long hours or as few as 4 hours a week?

    Coaches Frustrated with Severs Disease

    I have a very talented 9 year old gymnast who was diagnosed with Severs Disease this summer. I don't doubt that she has it, but I find it frusrating and confusing that most days she can handle practice with out heel cups or tape and some days she can't do anything. My question is if any other...

    Parents Sever's Disease anyone?

    Had to take my DD (8) back to the Ped Ortho today. The past few weeks she has been limping, hopping and I was thinking she either re-fractured it or the cyst that was in her heel at the fracture site and become larger. Just to re-cap, she had fractured it in December and was out of commision for...
