    WAG Update: tomorrow is her last day (Perthes disease)

    For anyone that hasn't been following, dd has had hip trouble dating back to January, and was diagnosed with Perthes disease this summer. A pretty devastating diagnosis for a gymnast at her age (12, training L7). We initially had hope after meeting with her orthopedic specialist said early...

    WAG Perthes Disease Diagnosis.....

    I’m sure some of you remember me posting in January about my dd’s (12 years old training L7) hip trouble. She was sent for an MRI which showed nothing but fluid and since she was already doing better orthopedist diagnosed transient synovitis. Followed up in a month, she was doing great and...

    Parents Panner's Disease

    Pea hurt her elbow about two weeks ago and a recent MRI showed a diagnosis of Panner's disease. She has a follow-up with an 'arm specialist' on Friday, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with this that they would be willing to share. My friend Google says that it's rare, but is...

    WAG Kienbock's disease

    Does anyone out there have any experience with this fairly serious wrist condition? One of the younger girls on the team was recently diagnosed. Is it necessarily the end of gymnastics?

    WAG Sever's Disease

    Help!! My dd has a severe case of Sever's Disease. We recently just started a new gym training level 6 and right now she cannot vault or tumble, they need her to score out of level 4 and 5 within the new few months and I don't see that happening. She comes home from practice crying every night...

    WAG Sever's Disease

    I know there's lots of posts here on Sever's, but I'd like to get some opinions from different perspectives (parents, coaches, and gymnasts) on the topic. How do you deal with Sever's Disease and training? We took my daughter to the pediatric orthopedic doctor a couple of weeks ago. She was...

    Parents Panner's Disease

    Never heard of it? Neither had we - or Flippers coaches (who have been coaching for long enough they have run into nearly everything). Flipper was diagnosed with Panner's about a month ago (MRI). It is a rare bone disease the affects elbows, mostly in 5-10 year old boys who play baseball ;>...

    WAG Sever's Disease :(

    I think we are looking at Sever's for our DD, 7. The coaches say its relatively common. She has been complaining of heel pain for the last two weeks. No swelling or redness. It is exactly where the websites point to in describing Sever's-where the Achilles tendon attaches at the heel. We are...

    Parents Iselin's Disease

    Has anyone dealt with their child having Iselin's Disease? My daughter had xrays today and saw a specialist. The specialist said that in my daughter's case, it was caused by her femoral anteversion disorder which causes her to walk with her feet turned in, which in turn caused her tendons to...

    severs disease

    I was reading about this in the coaches forum. My daughter was diagnosised with this in the fall. When I took her to the sports medicine doctor he said she can tumble all she wants that it won.t cause any damage but in the coaches section I saw something about a modified training plan. She...

    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...

    Osgood-Schlatter disease

    For the last year I have been suffering from an inflammation of the growth plate at the tibial tuberosity, also known as Osgood-Schlatter disease. It is in both of my knees but lately has been mainly in my left. Sometimes the pain is not bad to work with, but other times I just want to drop on...
