    Hi all, I'm new, as you may see from my post count :). My dd is 8yo (9 in June) and is finishing up Level 3. She has one meet this weekend and then states in around a month. After that there are a few more weeks and she'll be in summer training. During the year she's been doing 9 hours(3...

    WAG Another Sever's Question...Pain not really in heel!

    Hi, My daughter (8 y.o. gymnast) has been diagnosed with Sever's. :-( She is walking on her toes on that side, pain flares up after activity etc. But when I look at all the info it is heel pain which is the main symptom. My daughter's area of pain is more towards her inside ankle - behind and...

    WAG Please share Severs success stories

    Kipper is 11, and has had bouts of Severs flare ups since she was 9. Always during meet season, of course! The previous 2 seasons, the flare ups only lasted a few weeks, and only affected 1 meet, it any. The current flare up started more than a month ago and is showing no signs of improving...

    Sever's

    I have been having a lot of heal pain lately, so my mom and I went to the doctor. The doctor told us that the best thing to dos was rest so I gave it 4 - 5 days and then I had practice again. At practice my foot felt better but it was still hurting. I've tried to stay off of it at home and I ice...

    Parents Yet another sever's question

    I've put a call into dd's sports med dr but no call back...and I'm concerned. Back story, dd has complained of right heel pain off and on over the summer, finally pretty consistently for 2-3 weeks. We tried resting it, she has fabulous coaches that are very knowledgeable. She was doing constant...

    Parents Severs/ Growth Plate/ Heel Pain

    Anyone had luck treating this while their athlete was still training? DD Floor is suffering because she can barely get through her tumbling passes. Currently she's only running her tumbling lines two or three times per practice because if she does more, it hurts to walk.

    WAG Question about Severs

    So DD who recently turned 8 was just diagnosed with severs. Doc said it's from over use and growing. After a week of complaining of heel pain (while we were on vacation!) we took her to a sports medicine doctor as soon as we got back and he said it's Severs. She's in a boot for 2 weeks and then...

    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 Severs - grrr

    Just a rant - how ironic and unfair that every time my very little growing dd finally grows a cm she gets a flare up of severs!!! Whilst she watches her friends grow 5 cm overnight without a problem.

    WAG ...and the Sever's saga continues...

    This apophysitis crap sucks. My dd is 9 years old, level 7 artistic, usag level 9 power tumbler, and usta advanced power tumbler. She started having heel pain around Valentines Day of this year (2013). Long story short, dd has been in and out of a boot and/or hard cast ever since. They started...

    WAG Glucosamine for Severs

    I'm taking Dd to the Dr tomorrow for some stubborn heel pain. I'm pretty sure it's Severs as she is 9 and my Ds was diagnosed with the same thing at this age. Her coach recommended giving her glucosamine. Has anyone had success with this supplement for this particular ailment? We've been doing...

    WAG Achilis tendinits (also Severs) - advice needed please!

    Little background. Dd has had bouts with Severs for about a year and a half now. About a month ago she started complaining about pain in her Achilles and the top of her left foot (different than when her Severs acts up). It was so bad that I decided to take her to an Orthopedic surgeon right...

    WAG Severs/cracked growth plate?

    We went in the other day for a totally unrelated foot issue (dd had a wart removed on her toe and this was the final checkup for that) DD has mentioned a time or two slight heel pain. Mentioned it again the morning of this appt.. So it being an ankle and foot doctor, we mentioned it to the...

    Parents Sever's and OU gymnastics camp?

    Just found out today that escalating heel pain in 6 year old DD is Sever's. She has OU camp this Sunday through Thursday (commuter) . Doc recommended rest but thought camp would be manageable if it is the highlight of her summer. Any advice? Sent from my SCH-I535 using ChalkBucket mobile app

    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...

    WAG Sole Impact Socks for Severs

    Does anyone have any experience with these? Home I'm wondering if they will help DD's Sever's. We have the Tulli's heel cups, and she has experienced mixed results.

    WAG beam balance issues-possibly from Sever's?

    Last year, beam was DD's best event (level 3). This year, she started out great, but has major bouts of balance issues, that seem to correlate to Sever's flare ups. Her mount, handstand, tuck jump are fine, as well as the dismount. Everything else she is fighting to keep her balance. What I...

    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...
