I just need some feedback from people's experiences about the growth. My son is 15.
A year ago he started his puberty and the bone age jumped to 17.I am trying to keep his growth plates open.He is on Lupron to slow down the puberty. I am giving him the aromatase inhibitors also. He is on Growth hormone since he is also deficient in that.He is 5.3''.I have done this since June. Have only seen 1/2 inch growth. I am so frustrated. Any experience from others? I just need to know my next step.I am already thinking about LLP.

We are already on the growth hormone.Also medication to suppress all the sex hormones. On top I am giving him aromatase inhibitors. We are doing blood test every 3 months. Growth plates on knees are open, hands are closings, falanges closed.

It seems proportionate. I will check the femurs and tibias.

Doctor is on top. Don't worry. Growth hormone cannot be increased because of IGF-1 being high. It is dangerous.I am just frustrated him not growing further with all my efforts. But I will check the proportions. I think his trunk is longer than the legs.
