<p>my younger daughter is a competitive gymnast and just was diagnosed with it this summer. She has to wear a knee brace and take Advil before gym each day, which is every day but Sunday. The orthopedist said she’d grow out of it, and it is common in athletes but of course your otho needs to take a look at it just to be sure exactly what should be done. Look for a pediatric sports medicine orthopedist in your area if you have one. Good luck!</p>
<p>Wow- a term I learned back in medical school and saw my only patient with then, but still remember, sounds like no major changes over the eons…</p>
