Not asking for medical advice-DD has a doctor and sees her frequently. Just curious what other young (teen) sufferers of tendonitis have had for treatment. Physical therapy? Casts/boots/braces? RICE? Heat? Prescribed or over the counter NSAIDS? Steroids? Cortisone? Surgery?
Has anything...
I have been quite stressed for a few weeks. DD complained of back pain a few weeks ago and ...yadayadayada... the orthopedist sent her for a bone scan due to the prevalence of this injury in gymnasts. I withheld some informaiton from her so she wouldn't worry, DH thought that the test was...
This good luck forum has been very good to my flipper. She has been trying to clean up some of her stuff, and that often leads to two steps backwards to make one leap forward. She is working so hard and getting a little frustrated, which is ok.
She is in a really tough field and the largest...
They were last seen in the gym, so if you find them, please return them to her immediately. She needs them for her meet tomorrow. It is her last chance to qualify for states and she is really distraught.

Just back from Christmas on the Chesapeake. All of our gym's girls did pretty well. DD got a 9.025 on floor- best floor score and first COTC medal for her. Improved everything but beam. Congrats to my dd- rocking level 8!
Well DD is cracking under pressure. She spent all summer busting out her level 8 skills so she could compete 8 this year. The last two weeks she has not been able to do anything. I have videos of her doing all these skills two months ago. The coach says she is a perfectionist ( I've never...
DD was asked to do bars and floor at an exhibition during a level 2/3 meet on one day's notice because her bars are the best and her dance is the best. Yay flipper, level 8.
I noticed some comments made by coaches about parents in a few different threads here that I really found myself wanting to say- hey, that's not at all what it looks like!
Sometimes, we need to put ourselves in the other person's shoes. For example, one comment was about a child who was tired...
