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.

He should be close to finished then if his tanner stage is passed the 4th stage- but just to be sure, he'll have to wait until puberty has been complete. Who knows? He might be able to grow some more.
While I do not know your son very well, would he see surgery as an opportunity?
Has your son expressed concerns over his height? HGH might not do much more for him so it's important to let him know that there's nothing wrong with him for not being tall and that his mom and pop don't think any less of him for it. I wouldn't even suggest leg lengthening surgery to him because it would probably just make him feel bad. My mom started crying in front of everyone at the endocrinologist's office when they told her I was done growing at 5'5, and although she may have been crying because she knew things would be harder for me, it did make me feel some resentment toward her for acting like I was defective in some way.
is the HGH injected or taken orally?
don't make him feel bad. I get the impression that you're pounding on him for not growing taller.
if you want to really help him, do what you're doing now and save up for his LL but don't tell him anything.
If he has issues when he's older, break the news.

your vitamin intake is not enough.
there are 20 nutrients you need for bone development.
I am doing injections 1.2mg under the skin.
He does not want anything. But deep inside I know it is going to be an issue later in his life.
It is interesting that you mentioned your mom crying. When they did the bone age and told me about it(he would not grow more he was 5.2''), I was so depressed and could not get out of the bed for several days. You guys are not defective, it is just mother's wish to have all the best for the kids. My son is so shy,he is good looking though. I can imagine if he was tall, would be so good.take care.
I don't say anything anymore. You are right. I don't want him to know.I am just frustrated that I got him to the endo late. I am just blaming myself. You guys, all of you are great.
